These are two portraits by the wonderfully talented Rebecca Salcedo of Smelly Rhino Studio. I had Indiana's done for Jim's Christmas present, and we loved it so much that we decided to have Rebecca do portraits of all of our pets. Next up (age-wise, it's only fair) was Isis. She is named after the Egyptian goddess of fertility, so we wanted a portrait that would reflect that. Rebecca did an amazing job--beyond what I ever could have hoped for.
I love that in both portraits, it really looks like our dogs! Rebecca captured their faces so realistically. I am in awe of her talents and creativity. I wish you all could see the pictures in "real life." As amazing as they look here, they look even better in person--the colors are so bright.
Another thing I love--they are tiny! They are ACEO, which are 2.5" x 3.5". We frame them in plain, black 11 x 14 frames with a plain, white mat, which really shows off the color and detail of the pictures.
Rebecca has also been a joy to work with. She's super nice and quirky and fun, and it's so enjoyable to look through her Etsy store. Check it out here. I think you will love her as much as I do!
Next up will be a portrait of Mr. Squiggles. Jim and I are still debating what we want to do. But I have no doubt, that in Rebecca's creative hands, it will be a gem as well.

*Blushing* Thank you my friend. I enjoyed creating them as much as you do owning them!
Hey - this is so cool - Rebecca is my favourite artist too!!!!
I remember when she did Indiana Bones (love it) and now Isis is such a wonderful companion piece. Can't wait to see Mr. Squiggles!
(Rebecca did a "Mafia" version of our cat, Joe. Amazing!)
Christy--very cool! I just love the way Rebecca captures the details of the pets, yet makes the artwork really fun. We still have to decide on themes for the four cats (Jim and I disagree on it right now!), but it's a fun thing to look forward to, for sure.
