Labrador Retriever: Black, Yellow, Chocolate, Puppies and Dogs

Brent's pet portraits (dog, cat, horses) began in 1987 with coverage in Town & Country magazine. She placed an ad for her pet portrait services, and in 6 weeks had 3 years of work. "PBS" did a national special on her pet portraits, as did "PM" Magazine, and other national television shows. She has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV programs. Her artwork had been featured in many national magazines and newspapers.

Her portraits are know to capture the Souls of her subjects. Brent's signature trademark within each portrait is that the eyes of your pet follow you around a room, UNless it's not that pet's particular personality to look at you, or the "pose" you have chosen doesn't allow this to occur.

If you are a pet lover, you've probably seen her licensed designs in all of the leading pet catalogues and retail stores. Her pet portraits, have been on sweatshirts for Orvis, QVC, Home ShoppingNetwork and Catalogues, Pot Pourri, et al. You have seen her pet and animal designs, on rugs, wallpaper, greeting cards, men's ties (Alynn neckwear), Rug Barn Throws, Toland, et al.

Brent's animal artwork was been chosen to raise money for the ASPCA, the Delta Society, Handicapped Riding, Ducks Unlimited, Bide a Wee, etc, and other national and international organizations. Brent's art was featured in the Labrador Quarterly, Orvis, at the Washington International, Devon, and Madison Square Garden Horse Shows, American Kennel Club ( AKC), the Westminster show, the Humane Society of the United States et al. Her international pet clientele range from Hollywood star's pets, to pound puppies. Her pet portraits on silk pillows began a home accessory trend, and her pillow portraits adorn many elegant homes.

Pet Portraits: Your photos determine how your pet's "personality" is captured on canvas

To take the best pictures of your pet for their Pet Portrait:



1. Photograph at your pet's level. Use a squeaky toy or food for that sparkle in the eyes and extra ear lift.

2. Get extra close-ups of the face for "mommy's" favorite details.

3. Send fur snips for color matching

4. Take photos from all angles, with as little scenery as posssible.

5. Outdoor lighting is best. Try to get accurate color. Your photographs must be accurate and as clear as possible.

6. Your "baby's" personality being caught on camera, allows me to paint that extra sparkle.

Take as many rolls as necessary!!! When I photograph a pet for their portrait, I usually take about 4 rolls of 36 exposures. Too many is better than too little. As an artist, I can take the ear carriage from one picture , the "smile" from another and the tail set from another and combine them all in your artwork.

Your final portrait and your pets "personality captured on canvas" is determined by the images that you send.
