BoxerRescueMTL July 26th, 2006, 03:34 PM I am SO excited Uncle Monty's portrait is finally here! I just looked at the artist's website and it is on the front page - I am a proud momma. We miss Monty so much and having this painting done really helps us. I feel like a little bit of Monty is back with us.

jesse's mommy July 26th, 2006, 06:18 PM Absolutely gorgeous painting. Beautiful.
Lissa July 26th, 2006, 06:59 PM Oh my goodness! It is beautiful! I can imagine what it means to you and your family!:love:
The soft colours are so nice and Monty's eyes are precious. Was this painted from a real picture or did the artist come up with the idea? Monty is expressing so much love!:love:
Where are you planning on hanging it?
OntarioGreys July 26th, 2006, 07:55 PM That is gorgeous, how did you ever find this artist?
Would you mind terribly sharing info on the artists pricing.
I would like to get something done with Nikki and Maya, may redo something with Sunny and Callie
I already have a portrait of Sunny and Callie, done as a digital watercolour, which I was not all that happy with Sunnys head looks like it is pasted in place

OMG Chris and I were so happy when it got here! It is really like having a little bit of Monty back here with us. It is painted from a real picture, I'll find it and post it. We have it above the fireplace mantle in the living room. Our house is open so you can se it when you come in the front door, from the kitchen, basically anywhere. We're going to be getting it framed this week too. Maybe I'll take a pic when it's all framed an hanging.

Thanks! We found him in the back of Modern Dog magazine. He had an ad, and we checked out his website - he has a painting there of a boxer and when we wrote to him we found out it was his own boxer, Osiris, who was 13 years old :) Sadly Osiris passed away last month..but because of Osiris we felt very drawn to the artist. If you PM me I'll give you an idea of the cost. Our painting is quite large - I think it is about 3ft x 3 ft..and I know cost changes for different sizes and if the backround is plain or not.
BoxerRescueMTL July 26th, 2006, 08:57 PM Here is the photo. In the photo, Monty's ears are cut out but we supplied the artist with other photos of his ears, close ups and different angles.
