"HERMAN"

Portrait of a Pomeranian

by

Margie Whittington

I have just finished this portrait of Heman, a white
Pomeranian as a commission I received off of this blog.
I had done the portrait of a chocolate labradore retriever
and was contacted to do Herman.


When I received the photo of Herman that I worked from
I was surprised because he looks just like my white pom, Teddy.
Teddy was 16 and passed away a few years ago. So as I painted
the portrait, I had lovely memories of my sweet dog, Teddy.

Here is Mick, the Chocolate Lab's portrait.

" IN CONCERT "

24" x 30"

Oil on Canvas

Painted by Margie Whittington

A friend from high school which has been
forty+ years ago, asked me to do this portrait of
her when she was twelve years old at a piano recital.
The photo that the painting was done from was a black and
white with no color and some very dark areas.
She described the colors and the details of the photo and
this is what I painted.


It was a challenge and I am hoping my friend will be pleased
with the finished portrait.
Shhhh, she hasn't seen it yet. Her birthday is in August and I
think she has given up on me ever getting it finished.


A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE !
