This summer we’ve been all about the birthday gifts! Seriously, about half of the portraits we’ve created have been for somebody’s birthday surprise.
For example, Lily is the love of 9-year-old Caroline’s life (and vice versa), and her parents thought a Comic
Style portrait was the perfect way to capture their special friendship. So for Caroline’s 10th birthday we created this adorable dog portrait of Lily the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Then there was Mandy, Black Lab and best buddy to Steven who turned 12 this summer. Once again it was the parents, knowing of the amazing bond between the two, who thought a portrait would be the perfect gift! They chose a Pop Art style portrait, but instead of the classic, Warholized, four-panel layout, they went with a dramatic, yet whimsical single panel portrait of Mandy.
The tables were turned when Allison decided to have a portrait done for her father-in-law of Lou, the little Maltese that he allegedly loves more than his kids (and kids-in-law). We did a Pop Style portrait of Lou, and by the way the portrait was a gift for his 60th birthday!
And finally wife & daughter conspired to surprise John with a portrait of his beautiful girl Meg when he turned 86 years young earlier this month!
So you see, you are never too young or too old to know the wonderful ways a pet improves your life! So keep Pop Art Pet in mind next time you’re in need of a birthday present for a pet-lover in your life. Our original dog portraits and cat portraits make great gifts for any age!
