The Many Faces of Pookie, Zeus and Zena – Inspired Pet Portraits & Animal Paintings by Dana Feagin

This commission will be my biggest challenge to date  –  a series of nine paintings capturing the sweet quirkiness of Zena, Zeus and Pookie. They were such an important part of their owner’s life, that he is commissioning a large number of pieces, from different artists, in commemoration of their lives. Over the last few weeks, we have culled through a large number of pictures, some a bit blurry, and finally settled on these images. Today I finished drawing them out on gallery wrapped canvas, and hung them on my studio wall so I could see them all together.  We are thinking each dog will have a different colored background, so I am still mulling over the possibilities. Let the painting begin!
