Several months ago I decided to redecorate my sons room... afterall, he is now a toddler and needed to shed his little boy gear.
We decided on a dog theme in honor of our dog, Chewie, that recently passed away. I sought out several artists to do dog pictures for his room. We decided on 3 artists-- all of which I LOVE their work!
One of the artists was Carol Lynn Nesbitt. She did 6 dog pictures for his room all in primary colors. They take up one full wall in his room.
I found Carol on ebay. I liked her work, but wanted to control the pictures (wanted all dogs) as well as the color scheme. Carol was totally cool with that. We talked (emailed) about each dog. I sent her photos of dogs I liked, the general color scheme I wanted and presto! She was done in like 2 weeks. We went back and forth on a couple and I was so pleased that she was accomodating. :)
I should note: As part of the 6 pictures, Carol did two portraits of our dogs and did an amazing job! I was blown away how well she captured their spirit. She especially nailed my dog, Chewie that passed. (as an aside, it was a great way for my son to remember his first "dog" and deal with his passing)
Carol's pictures are fun, vibrant and great for kids (and adults too). I loved her work and my son loves it too. In fact, he has named the other 4 dogs in his room. Other kids come over and think he has the coolest room. I have to admit, I like hanging out in there. And, it has made my son appreciate art-- real art.
If you love your pet and want to have a portrait done, you wont be disappointed. Or, if you simply want to decorate a kids room, you will love the way it turns out.
p.s. I think I paid about $80 for each picture.
