SOLD 

A GREAT HUGE, MARVELOUS THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US OUT!!! WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE GESTURE!!! 

Above is one of the commission projects I recently received. Pet portraits can be a great way to remember your beloved furry friends. I had a lot of fun painting this one, it's quite unlike any of the pet portraits I've done before. 

Pet Portraits

"Otis"

I've mentioned it before but I recently got commissioned to do a few more so I thought I'd mention it again: 

I do pet portraits!

These are great to give as gifts. People love their pets! It's also a nice memento after a pet has passed and is a nice way of keeping their memory alive.

Kincheloe Run

A few weeks ago we went to visit friends in "the north land." They live in a beautiful part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and we had a wonderful time.

While we were there we went to go see a sled dog race. What a fantastic sight! The dogs all looked happy beyond...well....words...as they went rushing by, their tongues lolling out of their mouths. If you've never been to a sled dog race I recommend it! Of course, I also recommend you bring a warm drink and a pair of mittens.

Also, I'm proud to announce that I'll be teaching two local watercolor classes soon! One in Cheboygan and one in Petoskey. The classes are for beginners and if anyone is interested please contact me! 

Morning Walk

My husband and I have a thing for driving on back roads. The thing is, sometimes we drive so far down them they're not really roads anymore at all. Nature begins to close in and soon trees are sweeping gently at your side mirrors. This painting is based off of several photos that I took. One photo being the two track in winter.   We were bored one day in December and went for a drive. We ended up in this beautiful area and I felt compelled to capture it. 

This painting is 11x14" and can be purchased by bidding in the Daily Paintworks auction by clicking here. Alternatively you can contact me about purchasing it by email at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or by phone at (248) 977-0732. 

Afternoon Walk

   A vibrant painting of a young couple out for a walk with their dog. I had a lot of fun adding all the color in this picture. Can't you almost smell the autumn leaves? Not that I'm trying to rush anything. SO happy that summer is finally here! Can't wait to get outside and enjoy it later today!

Throw The Ball!

When I do commission work I often work from photographs. We discuss what the client is looking for and I draw a quick sketch to show them how I interpret what they are asking for. This is an example of one of those sketches. A client asked me to draw their old dog Damask, who was a Red Tick Hound. Damask used to love to play in the backyard and have her red ball thrown for her to fetch. They asked that I draw her waiting for the ball to be thrown, at complete attention. This is what I came up with. 

We discussed the picture and they made a few suggestions and pointed out things they would like changed. So now when I paint the final picture, I have this AND the photos AND their advice to work from. It really makes the whole process a lot easier. 

Sadie

This is the second pet commission I have completed. Her name is Sadie and she's a wonderful little dog. So full of life and very attentive. I spent an hour or so with her and her owners learning a little about her and her personality before I painted her. I felt perhaps this would evoke an emotion in me and that it would carry through into my painting. While we were out on our walk, I snapped a couple pictures of Sadie to use as a reference.

Oasis

I've recently broken into a new market: Pet Portrait Commissions. It was suggested to me a while back but I didn't feel as if I could draw animals very well. So as an experiment and maybe to prove something to myself, I took this commission when it was offered to me and I'm quite pleased with it.
If you're interested in commissioning a work (be it home, special event or pet portrait) check out the new edition of my blog titled "Commissions." I'd love to hear from you!
HAPPY PAINTING!
