Glad you stopped by to see my custom house and pet portraits! This one is a recent commission of a large home with really elegant landscaping, a punchy red door and to-die-for mature trees behind the house.
Can you imagine the views back there?
I've been enjoying painting houses, so many of them are for gifts and the response has been so sweet! I am so lucky that so many of my customers are coming back for gifts for other loved ones who saw the very first one I painted!
I enjoy inking them at the end with a bit of whimsy. I just think houses have personality, too! This one doesn't have any pets, but I often include mini pet portraits either looking out the window or in the front yard.
Today I'm working on a sweet Victorian home with all that gingerbread, and that one is including a squirrel because it wouldn't "look like" that home without one in the tree! Thanks for stopping! If you have any questions at all please contact me (tab on the top or info on the sidebar to the right). Hope to "see" you again! Robin

Wild Thing, Painting a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon Portrait
 |
| Oil Painting of a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon |
And that hair!
Every dog is different, I've painted and drawn hundreds of golden retrievers and each one's personality shone right through their photos.
That's what I try my best to capture!
When someone orders a pet portrait from me, I like to ask about the pet's personality. Shy? Goofy? Smug? Smart? Calm?
It might sound silly, but to me, I truly believe I get a better likeness when I know all about the pet.
Especially when I paint their eyes, then they are looking right back at me!
I'm artist Robin Zebley, thanks for visiting my site! Feel free to contact me with questions or comments. Robin. Want to see more? Here's more from my portfolio of painted pet portraits.

Custom Pet Portrait of a Dachshund in Texas Bluebonnets by me, Artist Robin Zebley
 |
| Dachshund Oil Painting |
It's a little hard to paint bluebonnets and a Doxie since they are taller than they are, but I didn't want it to be a painting of bluebonnets that happened to have a dog in them anyway.
Just kind of like to suggest the "setting" in my portraits. This painting is oil on canvas, 5" x 7". I do other sizes too.
I am always accepting commissions, if you like my style, just contact me here, we'll discuss your custom pet portrait project! Robin
