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.

Molly was a great challenge for me, I hadn’t painted a black dog for quite some time. It was not the greatest image to work from and turned out great.

A Christmas gift, this came from quite a poor quality image. An image that came from an older cameraphone that could only take pics of a 0.8 megapixel quality. I think it turned out quite well based on the lack of details that I had to work from.

2011-03 – Commissioned Painting – Pet Portrait Painting by Cameron Dixon – Sarah and Maui

This painting was for Sarah, it was from a photo that I took of her and our husky Maui in our backyard in Lethbridge, AB. Maui was a beautiful, Sarah was beautiful, I had to paint it! This was the first time in a very long time that I attempted to paint a person as well. It took quite a bit longer but I gained the confidence to know that I can do it again if people requested.
