WOOF! Thank you for visiting i heart dogs studio, the home of pet portraits lovingly painted by me, Christine Humphries Throckmorton.

Your pet deserves a portrait. I create custom pet portraits, prints, cards, and more, all featuring lovable canines (and the occasional feline). Scroll down, take a look around, click away. You'll see a wide variety of pet portraits, and get to know a bit about the girl behind the canvas.

they can show me in the world.” ~ Samuel Johnson

In progress...and Calgon

I've got lots of projects in the works, but nothing to show just yet. I'm thiiiis close to finishing portrait #25 of 30 Dogs. Then I'll have five left. One was going to be a glass tile mosaic, but that's not a very safe medium for a pregnant person, so that portrait will now be a painting. One oil, four acrylics...and I'm done. I really want need to be done. REALLY. Fingers crossed that some of the remaining portraits will actually sell. I can't believe how many unsold portraits from this project reside under my bed.
Honesty time: This recession is killing me. There, I said it. I had to say it. Killing me.

On an optimistic note, three more glitter dog silhouettes are almost done. Mr. Whippet's makeover is almost done. And the aforementioned 30 Dogs portraits are ALL in progress. Getting there...

It's time to don my teacher hat once again. School starts in a matter of days.

I feel like the lady in those 80's commercials who said, "Calgon, take me away!"
