Gift For the Dog Parent Who Loves Custom Art
Pet art makes a perfect gift since it can add personality to your home and also help celebrate everything that you love about your furry loved one.
Imagine if you received a custom portrait of your dear dog. There are several local artists that specialize in customized pet paintings. A few that give back to pet rescues include:Victoria Lowry Art,, and CassidyMadeCo. You can simply give them a photo of your pet and will be amazed at how they are able to capture the essence of your dog’s soul and personality. I’m eagerly awaiting my painting of my Marley boy from Victoria Lowry Art who has crossed the rainbow bridge. I’ll be sure to let you all know how it turns out! The first photo above are stickers of my Marley and Sophie that were created by Cassidy MadeCo. The second are festive pug stickers.
This photo features Victoria Lowry hard at work on a painting at an event last year.
