"FLINTSTONE" 64/101 OF 101 PET PORTRAITS IN 101 DAYS © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

SOLD TO HIS PET PARENTS: MIKE AND SANDY! THANKS GUYS!

"Firestone" is a very colorful fellow in the fauvist style for sure! Lots of mustardy yellows and deep blues and even some cerulean blues thrown in for good measure! Firestone's pet parents; Mike and Sandy Wilson asked me to go really fauve with him, and that is what I did! They were attracted to Boo; the little dachshund from weeks back, so I used that color scheme as a jumping off point.

I want to mention again, that color is a tough thing to deal with when we have so many different computer monitors in the land...so, the best I can do is to describe the color, and to show the photo in several different ways with different frame colors next to it...over-all you should get a pretty good idea...HOPEFULLY!

SO, here is Firestone with his different frame or display suggestions. The black metal easel he is sitting on is from Hobby Lobby...and the Floater Frames are from pictureframes.com in their floater frame section. It isn't hard to frame your pet babies in these frames. I finally figured out to get black foam core from Walmart, cut it to the size of the portrait, put a couple permanent mounting squares from Walmart on the top, center the painting and either glue it or even tape the back to get it to sit inside, and voila` you have it in!!
