They wanted a realistic portrait of their pet that showed off her long tail and her adorable face. I worked from two different photographs to get this pose &#8211; one of her walking (but her head was turned) and the other a close-up of her face. The challenge was to combine both photos seamlessly. This was a lot of fun to paint because of the different markings on Squeaky. She truly is a unique and beautiful kitty.<\/p>\n<p>I completed this portrait over a week or so using the glazing technique (wet on dry), which is different from my usual <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">alla<\/span> <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">prima<\/span> (wet on wet) weekly paintings. By doing so, I was able to capture all the fine details and nuances that make up Squeaky, and were very important to her owners. They approved the painting today with big thumbs up! <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\">YAY<\/span>!<\/p>\n<p>To commission a portrait of your beloved pet, <a href=\"mailto:info@takeyceart.com\"><strong>email me<\/strong><\/a> and let\u2019s talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time&#8230;<br \/><span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\">Takeyce<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 x 20 &#8211; oil on canvas SOLD &#8211; Commissioned [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sold","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2289"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2289\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
