" Miracle Millie"- Pet Commission Painting in Watercolor

Finding my newest passion in painting Pet Portraits most dogs and it comes at the perfect time for me. We had to put down our loving dog and family member Kota (Black Lab) of 16 years. I understand how much our pets mean to us and painting them has been wonderful therapy for me.

Kota - Black Labrador Retriever Watercolor by Kellie Chasse

Kota was a challenge for me. I have painted a chocolate Lab and a yellow Lab before, but Kota is a Black Lab and her shading was more difficult to achieve. Of course...she is my dog so that in it's self makes it tough. I tried to capture spirit when she is at the "full attention intruder stage". She is a little over protective at times. I love this look though. Ready for the hunt!

Kota is eleven years old and weighs just under 100 pounds and is all muscle! She is a devoted and loving dog and we couldn't ask for a better family addition. We thank the Brunswick Coastal Human Society everyday. Thanks for letting us adopt Kota 10 years ago!
