Catherine Gillespie Watercolor Pet Portraits - Nationwide
I create unique watercolor paintings of your beloved pet. My paintings are realistic, yet loose watercolors. I like to focus on the expression and eyes of the pets I paint. I get so much joy in capturing the character and personality of my little models. Many times I will include a background that helps describe the dog's breed and personality. My paintings are created with love to honor the remarkable connection between a human and their pet. All my paintings are painted on special handmade watercolor paper.
