Post Star Pets and Luxurious Dog Houses

Via La Repubblica.


































































These dog houses look more like prize winning dollhouses. Via My Luxury.

Captain Dakota

I was asked to paint another portrait of Dakota the chihuahua, but this time as a sailor. As you can see I had a great time. I was inspired by the photographs of Pierre et Gilles and by pictures of Dakota herself (at the beach at sunset). She even has a little anchor tattoo.

Dakota

I just got a commission to make another portrait of the chihuahua in the post a little further down, but this time as a sailor. So I thought I'd post two other dog portraits that I made for members of my husband's family for Christmas last year.


















This is Ivan, my father-in-law's boxer. I obviously gave this to him. Markers on paper, 9x6 in.


















This is Zippo as a puppy chasing butterflies. This was a gift for my husband's aunt. Watercolors and mixed media on paper, 40x50 cm.

Chihuahua

I was commissioned to make a painting of a pet chihuahua. Here it is.



















Oil on Canvas, 40x50 cm.

I was asked to make her a Mexican soldier and to make it colorful here are some of the photos I used as inspiration.
Zapatista Soldiers from the Mexican Revolution.
