2017-04 – Original Painting by Cameron Dixon – Pop Art Golden Retriever Puppy

Pop Art Golden Retriever Puppy
11 x 14 x 1.375in Oil on Canvas
2017-04

I decided to begin offering a new style of pet portrait paintings aside from the realistic style that I have made for people over the last 8 years. This painting is a study that attempts a different and punchier colour palette as well as less detail work with more of an abstracted visual from an image.

This work is for sale and prints will be offered here via FineArtAmerica.

Over the past few years, I started to time lapse film myself painting, the original Youtube video of me creating this painting can be found here: https://youtu.be/MnEwuSpnB6c

2015-03 – Commissioned Pet Portrait Painting by Cameron Dixon – Cowboy

A group of amazing people offered to put enough money together to purchase this beautiful painting of Cowboy who was recently lost. There were many possible images to chose from but I thought this one was best because it had Cowboy taking up more of the overall space. Others had very nice backgrounds, etc but this one really shined and showed off Cowboy and who he was.

Lily was a longtime daycare dog who got to grow up with Sarah and I and our business. This was a present to Lily’s people from their parents and was completed just in time for Christmas. I love Lily, she is such a goofy, loving dog.

2009-12 – Commissioned Painting – Pet Portrait Painting by Cameron Dixon – Beans

Beans the Dog
16 x 20 acrylic on canvas
12-2009

Beans was my first painting experience for many years and the painting that had me push to continue creating commissioned pet portrait paintings. At this time I would roughly sketch out the image on the canvas and would work off of a scanned image printed out on a 8.5in x 11in piece of paper. Details would be specific to the quality of the original image/scan/print out, generally losing detail from every step. Here’s to Beans! Beans started a new realm in my painting and allowed me to paint more often and hone in on my skills.
