back in motion!

Hi All- It's been awhile since I posted, but portraits are happening in the real world! I've gotten my own archival Giclee printer & am busy getting prints up for purchase at my Etsy store, popkinsportraits.

Here's the first one of my own princess, Perogi!

shih tzu

I painted this shih tzu recently for the sheer pleasure of it. It's bouffant was just too glorious NOT to paint! She will be available for sale on my etsy shop, Popkin's Portraits in the next few days...

Doc!

I was recently honored to paint and draw the amazing Doc for my old band friend, J Robbins. It was a Father's Day and Birthday surprise from his lovely wife Janet. I've done a lot of live drawing sessions, but Doc was the biggest challenge ever! That pup never stops moving.
