Looking After Pets

Many of us have pets, and at present you can get loads of items which you may buy to give your pet the optimum treatment. Many people treat their pets like their best friends, or even as children. From looking for clothes to little pet shoes, buying gourmet pet food to toys, people are starting to treat their pets even better. A new way of showing your appreciation and love for your little friend is to have a pet portrait. These are great displays for the home—and one that you can keep as well.

If people commission a painter to make a portrait of someone they love, to keep and cherish forever, passed on to the next generations, why not create one for your pet? It only makes sense, if you treat your pet as part of the family. They are exquisite to look at, and can be a great source of dialogue for family, friends, and guests.

There are also many designs to choose from. Do you want a classical look, as if done by one of the masters of painting? Or do you want the fun, bold style of pop art? You can make a Warhol pet portrait, which will surely catch everyone’s attention. Before, those who looked for pet portraits were the owners of thoroughbreds like racehorses or other pets which were used to compete. Nowadays, anyone can make pet portraits. It is a nice way of telling people how much your pet means to you, and that he or she is very much a part of your family. Likewise, pet portraits undoubtedly are a nice way of finding and catching the quirky and unique personality of your pet!

One problem faced by people who get pet portraits is where to place it. It is nice to place a pet portrait in your living room, to show off to friends and visitors. It will also be a nice conversation starter, as you and your friends can trade pet stories with each other. Why not put your pet’s portrait together with the whole family’s portraits to show his or her part in the family? The family room is also a nice place to hang it, as well as near your pet’s house or bed itself.

Not just are these portraits fantastic displays for ones household, serving as reminders of your pet’s important status; they should also make great gifts to friends and family. Do you know of someone who adores their pet as much as you do? Having their pet’s portrait completed and supplying it to them as a birthday gift will undoubtedly be a tremendous and a distinctive gift. The nice thing about this is that you can keep it for a long time, and hand it down to the next generations, treating your pet as one of the family. This will surely be something for your family to keep and cherish. If you have always wanted to let everyone know how much your pet means to you, there is nothing better than this.

I remember my first time seeing a professional display of pet portraits. It was on a trip with my friends a few years back. We decided to stop and visit a few museums. One of them being this lovely art museum. When I walked in I immediately felt how wonderful this art was.

We walked through the halls admiring the beautiful paintings and how the were attractively displayed. There were oil, pastel, and watercolor paintings. Each hall had a special theme and really captured the reality of the pictures. The first hall was all flowers and nature, it was as if you were walking through a garden. I loved each and every painting as the artist truly showed their talent through each one. As we were walking down the one hall the theme began to change, it was now pet portraits.

This was the first time I saw pet portraits displayed in a museum, and it was amazing because all the paintings were done by one artist. The artist must have been a pet lover because every pet you can imagine was hanging on the wall. The sheer number of portraits of pets was truly amazing. Below are just a few that I loved.

The first was a picture of a dog. It was a little white poodle. The details were amazing. She wore a pink bow and sat on a matching doggie chair. The next one was two twin cats, at least they looked like twins. They were both midnight black with sparkling blue eyes that really were captured in the painting. There were plenty more pet portraits in between, but the one that really caught my eye was the picture of a horse. It was apparent that this horse was a beloved family pet. It was a white stallion and his owner. It truly jumped out of it’s frame and looked as if it were real.

There are so many different ways you can devote your love to animals. I really appreciated this hall of pet portraits because it showed that the artist was a true animal lover. Each animal seemed so real with a distinct personality – the artist really captured each of them.

You can see the love and devotion the artist has when you look at their work. The affection the artist had for animals and pets came through each painting. Next time you are in a museum, or even at a local art show, look at the details of the paintings. You will be surprised how much you can learn from them.
