Commissioned Pet Portraits by Derek Cadena

The little painting with the Boston Terrier (her name is Phoebe) was commissioned by a friend and Gallery Owner in Delaware.  I have painted three of his Boston Terriers.  Mirabelle is the most famous of them, she was recently featured in the latest image of Brent's Fruitville Girl Series!  We'll post about that next...

The other dog is Maguire, a pretty chocolate labrador.  This painting is 24" and has quite a bit of paint on the canvas.  I had a lot of fun with this piece, even though I had to paint with one eye, due to a brief loss of central vision in my right eye (C.S.R.)  Totally sucked!  However, my vision has returned after 6 weeks. YAY!
