Van Gogh My Pet
Van Gogh My Pet!
Because Van Gogh My Pet dot com is still not up..
I post here.
TITO!!
I began painting pet portraits this past February after visiting a craft fair in Orange County. I saw a woman doing a lovely watercolor of a pet with a sign that said “Pet Portraits! For more info call…” I thought, OMG, I need a portrait of Gus BAD! But I was trying to quit my job, and saving money, and I wasn’t really all that into this woman’s style… or lack there of. So I decided that I was going to come home and figure out how to pain a Warhol-like version of the Guster. It came Van Gogh.
Behold my first Warhol My Pet, Andy:
I did it in Photoshop. If I REALLY wanted to, I am sure my friends at Yes Press would make me a screen of the dark layer and screen it onto a canvas on top of my paint and I wonder how much I could charge for a real, live, fake Warhol of a pet?

This is the first Van Gogh My Pet portrait that I have done on white paper, on proper canvas, and in a larger (12″x16″ size). I am pleased with the larger size and with the way the colors pop on the white paper.

I’m wondering if maybe vangoghmypet.com was a rash purchase.
the Guster
I went away for the weekend and one of the first things I did when I got home was to do a portrait of the Guster in the style of Van Gogh. The media is oil pastel.
Here is the image I used to work off:
It has been purported that the portrait looks more like an owl than the Guster.
