pet portraits

Postby tacotaco » Tue Nov 09, 2010 10:32 pm

I know a few of you have had your birds painted. I found a painting of a nanday online a while ago and bought it right away to hang above charlie's cage. when i got my new bird, i contacted the same woman who painted the nanday and asked her if i could send some pics of my new bird and have her paint it too. she agreed and i received the painting today (i was very pleased!)

if any of you would like to share your pet portraits i would love to see them as im sure others would too, so feel free to post them!!
thanks.

here are my two babes,

they were done by a woman named mary hughes, her website is: http://www.maryhughesstudio.com in case anyone is interested. they were shipped to me very nicely and very reasonably priced.

I chose 8x8, on the smaller side but will fit perfectly in the spot I have planned for them. :)
