8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. Here’s “Pup,” who belongs to four-year-old Jack. Jack’s mother, Carrie, ordered portraits of each of her son’s favorite toys — you can see Ellie the elephant, who belongs to two-year-old Mason, by clicking here. Like Ellie, Pup poses atop a kitchen island, and his serious posture belies his sweet, cartoony face.
