Musing on Monday #29

Mom has been busy painting up a storm this past weekend - she gets this way - obsessed with something she is doing and forgets all about ME! Oh sure, I still rubs, pats, treats, and she plays tug with me - but what about MY walkies in the park huh? She says it is to hot - yeah I know it is in the 90's but I would suffer that for a walk - but NOOOOOO she stays home and PAINTS. Now admittedly I didn't mind her painting the likeness of ME - I am after all the BIG DOG, the MOST handsome one and it was my birthday - but then she goes on and does a painting of the Dweeb - the Wuzster - that thing that calls himself my brother - how could she sink so low. BUT  that isn't even the worst of it - she then goes on to paint "IT"  - that Dweeb cousin Jackson - that is the lowest of low Mom - the lowest of low!!

Mom is thinking of doing pet portraits and would love to hear your thoughts and get some feedback. These paintings are 20" x 16", done in acrylic on canvas (it is stretched on a frame). Do you think $60 + what ever the postage is - is a fair price? It costs $10 for materials - Canvas and paint and she spends about 6-7 hours on each painting.

  1. Pawsome paintings.

    Mommy's pawsonal opinion is probably to lower the price by ten dollars and one penny to make it $49.99. You always see those commercials on TV saying some odd dollar amount and 99 cents.

  2. Mum should def do portraits. They are great. $60 is not too much. Nice one mum. Have a marvellous Monday.

  5. Just a thought, it might be nice if they were painted on those canvases that are stretched onto a frame - you know, when it is kind of like a box? That way you can hang it on the wall right away, and don't have to have it framed. Not sure how much more that would cost, but I have several paintings in my house like that that I bought on etsy.

  12. you know what I think! I think that is way too inexpensive but to sell them I think the price is right. You are quite talented and 6-7 hrs is s LONG time to create pieces of art as beautiful as these are.

  16. Yes. Do it. I paid Baileys mom $90 for a pencil sketch of each dog. I just had her do Charley. She charged $45 up front and $45 at the end. Do you know her? Baileybegood.com.
