Bertha + Vito’s Decopaw art

I am finishing up this week with Bertha and Vito’s art canvases. These guys live all the way across the country in Maryland, and I am excited to ship their art to them once I get it back from my printer. Bertha and Vito’s mom supplied me with paint samples, which are always awesome to receive for art commissions. It just makes my job that much easier. FYI: these are my favorite proofs below but their mom ordered different color combinations. I love the subjectiveness of art. :-)

Happy first real work week of 2009! Hope everyone’s workdays went well and were successful and productive. 

Felice Decopaw art

One thing I love about my business at this time of year is the ability to stay indoors where it is warm and dry and play around with Photoshop designing art for clients. For whatever reason I always have a lot more art commissions when the weather is sucky. Either that or I just limit the numbers of commissions I take on during the nice months. Whatever. Given the way the weather has been in Seattle lately (um, did anyone see the snow on Sunday Night, good god!!), I am happy to be inside where it is cozy and warm.

Felice’s mom picked the purple proof because that is her favorite color. Which one do you guys think is mine? (For those who know me this is a ridiculously easy answer).

Diablo, Chico, Pucci decopaw art

Remember Diablo, Chico and Pucci? The three adorable boys I photographed in Pioneer Square last year?

We are designing art from their photos now, and I just finished the proofs this weekend. Their mom is doing a 3-canvas grouping with one larger canvas and two smaller ones- all of different sizes. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!






The final product will look something like this when hung:

Ella Decopaw art proofs

Remember Ella? Beautiful white dog with soft blue sky background. We are now making art for Ella and here she is in blazing color.

Ella’s proofs were inspired by the colors and textures of the Pacific Northwest. Ella’s mom will probably go with the one with the trees with a pinky sunset instead of orange. I myself like the beach shots because I have been spending a lot of time on the beach lately now that the sun is finally coming out. It’s about time!! I’m ready for summer!!
