Is there anything left to do to make a Bearded Dragon look handsome? I couldn't think of anything. The first oil painting of Spike was commissioned by a 14 year old boy who absolutely adored this pet. He gave Spike a bath and took a photo right after, while he was sitting on the toilet seat drying. So this fine fellow was well-dressed AND clean. This is the second version of Spike, painted on a larger canvas so as to be able to make large prints from it. And to match Mrs. Spike, a fine lady…

This is my very first lizard pet portrait painting, a bearded dragon named Koda. It was completed on October 23, 2020. It is painted on a 5″ x 7″ stretched canvas with acrylic paints. It was challenging to paint such a detailed portrait on such a small canvas. Rather than focus on all the tiny details and trying to paint every scale, I instead gave the impression of scales by layering the paint, and using tones, highlights and shadows to give depth and detail.
