The Star Himself of My Latest Pet Portrait!

This is Hunter who is the star of my latest Atlanta pet portrait. I had the pleasure of actually meeting Hunter and one of his owners, Lenore, when I delivered the portrait. Hunter was certianly well mannered and just wanted to really go for a walk to check things out. Hunter is a male 6 year old lab / golden retriever mix. His parents are both Georgia Department of Natural Resource agent dogs. His infamous pose is him sitting up on his hind legs sitting straight up as you see him sitting here. His owner, Lenore, told me that he is well mannered and his favorite things to do are: hunting and chasing squirrels or chipmunks, laying in the sun and going for walks. His favorite toy is a bright yellow stuffed dog toy that squeaks, nicknamed "Gunter".

When Lenore contacted me about doing a pet portrait of Hunter, I emailed her the basics of how my process works. I mentioned that I've always done just the head portrait with previous digital pet portraits but we could certianly do a full bodied portrait if desired. Since he was known for his pose, Lenore wanted to show his pose and Hunter became my first full-bodied Atlanta pet portraits.


This portrait was a 2nd year wedding anniversary gift for Lenore's husband. We worked around Lenore's deadline to have it ready in time for the big surprise. The portrait of Hunter was well received by her husband.
