Pet Portraits by Artist Thom Duffy

In order to get an excellent portrait, the artist requires good photographs to work from, ideally he would like to take the picture himself but if a client sends him a good image to start with half the work is done. “If they capture the dog, the glance, the glitter in the eye, just as the way they see their pet, and it’s an interesting photo I can just go with it. One image the dogs are looking up at the owner, that’s because he had a treat in his hand.” Thom Duffy may then use artistic license to improve the background of the painting and make the animal the center of attention with little tweaks and changes.
