Shiba Inu Pet Portraits
Portrait paintings in oil on linen canvas by katja
BackPet Portrait Information
This is a oil painting I painted in year 2011, one of the last portraits I created that year. The two dogs are laying on a sofa next to each other. The breed is Shiba Inu and their names are Aiko and Zuki, two really beautiful dogs. The pet portrait is in size 50 x 40 cm and is painted on high quality linen canvas. The client commissioned this portrait as a Christmas gift and it was a joy painting it. This time I really wanted a warm feel with a dramatic light, I was using a very limited palette the entire painting process and only added one more color at the end which I thought was missing, Winsor Yellow. The yellow is only used on the dogs.

Clients Testimonial
Hi Katja,
I was thrilled with the painting, it is incredibly beautiful. You have really captured both dogs' personalities, nicely done. This painting will follow me all my life. Ida talked about that we would take a picture of both dogs and painting and send it to you, just have not had time yet.
Best regards,
