Last year a good friend of mine got married and I knew right away what I wanted to give as a gift. She has a dog named Janie and a cat named Splash who are very much in love. They curl up together and take naps, they clean eachother's ears, all the things that lovebirds do. So I decided to paint their wedding portrait as a gift (since I do love painting kitties). Heres a little breakdown of how its coming along...
