Pet Portraits

Someone asked me if I do pet portraits.  The answer is I do.  We all love our pets.  I did one commission where the pet had recently died.  When the man came to pick up the painting, he started crying uncontrollably.  I thought he didn't like the painting, but he could finally speak, he said it looked just like his dog.  Pets love us unconditionally.  We can have a bad hair day, and they still love us.  We can be in a bad mood, and they still love us.  We owe it to our pets to be worthy of such devotion.
