Loved Dogs Art, Custom Pastel Portraits of your Pet(s)

Posted in Doggies, Holiday Gift Guide, Past Giveaways on 05. Dec, 2012

The very talented Mechelle Roskiewicz, a New York artist and owner of Loved Dogs Art, creates beautiful custom pastel portraits of your beloved dog(s). Not only would a custom portrait make a great item for yourself but it would also make a great gift for someone close to you.

I first learned about Mechelle when I was writing a blog post for a campaign I worked on – the HollyWOOF Gift Baskets. Mechelle created custom portraits for celebrities who received the gift basket.

I was over-the-moon when Mechelle offered to create a portrait of the gang. She absolutely captured the details and did a wonderful job of portraying each of them.

Riley, Kiko and Millie
