    Flat Coat Retriever Dog Show Trophies

    February 11, 2019

    Here are some of the trophies I created in 2018 for the Flat Coat Retriever national. I used stained glass for the tiles to get water effects, grass effects, and to make interesting backgrounds for the paintings.

    Flat Coated Retriever Portrait

    December 28, 2009

    This custom dog portrait is of Tapas, a Flat Coated Retriever. It was done as a secret gift for a friend for Christmas of 2009, and is now in the home of Donna Bennett. Doing a portrait of a dog that I know can be difficult, as it can be harder to capture that essence I’m familiar with. The eyes are where the personality is and I believe I’ve captured Tapas’ happy-go-lucky yet sensitive nature.
