Hand drawn & painted from a favorite photo using a special artistic technique that captures the unique personality of your pet! They are the two short and hairy males that changed my life…for the better. Elliott - a sweet, 8 pound, extremely intelligent black and white Papillon, and also my first four-legged love; Cooper – an energetic, animated, personality overflowing, ruby Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel, and my soul mate in canine form…both of these boys have shown me what’s truly important in life: being yourself, living in the moment, small wins are big wins and should make you just as happy, simply enjoying life to the fullest every single day and especially, loving unconditionally. But what does that have to do with inspiring art? Some artists know practically from birth what they are, while others take longer to grow into their artist pants. In either case, all artists need to be inspired in order to spark creativity – it’s impossible to truly be free to create without motivation and reason behind it. Motivation stimulates creativity. I am one of the artists who knew from birth what I was. While I have a variety of inspirations for other art that I do (you can check out my sculptures, paintings, photography and more at www.deborahervin.com), the love and the life that I have had because of Cooper and Elliott enables me to create these pet portraits. They are my inspiration. I see in other pet owners their love and devotion - dogs, cats, birds, hamsters…pets of all species are family - it makes me smile and I want to capture that feeling in an image that is as unique as the love and their pet. No two animals or relationships are the same, artwork is that way too! We’ll create a custom, one-of-a-kind piece of original art, in the style that suites you and your pet, from one of your favorite photographs. All art is hand drawn and painted using two different artistic techniques. Don’t have a pet, but like a certain breed?
