Tyler and Mia, by Melissa A. Torres, 12x12 acrylic on canvas

A gentleman in Seattle purchased a painting of mine of the San Antonio Riverwalk. His wife is from San Antonio. Appreciating my style of painting, I was commissioned to paint his two pooches. These were truly a pleasure to do.  These were to be hung in his newborn's nursery. Not knowing the sex of the baby, I decided to paint on a neutral background. He did a great job in picking in the photos he wanted to use as reference.

Sgt Daisy, by Melissa A.Torres, 22x28 acrylic on canvas

Commission.

This painting is of retired MWD Sgt Daisy. Daisy served in Afghanistan as a bomb sniffing dog. She is now retired. She now gets to spend the rest of her days with a friend of mine. I portrayed her on Marla's hardwood floors where she now plays. The "bomb" is the first chew toy Marla bought her. The boots represent the soldiers she has worked alongside.

Keri's Neighbor by Suzy Pal Powell

Keri used to have a neighbor who had this cute dog! Every time she and T-Bone walked he would stick his head out of the hole in the fence and watch. This is just a simple painted sketch.
