Our pets are important members of our families. I create a pencil drawing first and then transfer it onto natural stone. Then I paint the portrait with acrylics. If you would like a poem, I write the poems as well after finding out a few fun facts about the animal. I've painted many animals who are no longer with us, but even more "just for fun" to display in the home. Looking for that unusual, unique gift for your friend or loved one? Here it is!!
