What a neat give-a-way!
I would like my niece and nephew to be the subjects.
She is a talented artist! :)
I would love to have a picture of my husband and me. I dabble in art, but I can’t draw/paint people or animials at all. She is very tallented!
I would have to have my two ‘children’ (Mini-Schnauzers) painted! Dodger and Lilly Belle would look gorgeous in watercolor. :)
My son and his dog. They have an awesome bond…
I would have a photo of my father brought to life on canvas!! The black and white one of him as a senior is so handsome! He’s been gone for 10 years and I still miss him dearly!
My Baby Chloe! She is a pit. Full of love <3 I am not able to carry a child, so a friend gave us a puppy 2 years ago and my life has never been the same. I thought I knew love till we got her! She is the most amazing gentle happy baby girl you could ever meet! I love her so :O)
Mine would definitely be of my black lab mix Bogart. Too cute! Thanks for sharing!
My horse, Rebel, who died too young last year. Had her for 12 years.
My Kids! These are spectacular water colors!
The subject of the painting that I would want would be my grand daughter. She is a wonderful child, just turning 10. She is the light of my life and I know you would love her too. She is so kind to others and the light in that child shows through her eyes.
our new cockapoo puppie neely…so we can remember this awesome time in our family!!
How adorable Amanda! What a great giveaway! The subject of mine would definitely be our dog Maddie :)
What a cool artist! I would love to have my little rescue’s picture painted!!
My 2 granddaughters! Stunning work, Rachel! Precious subjects, Amanda and Kevin!!
I would love a portrait of my chocolate poodle Mollie. She really is my best friend.
I love watercolors! Although I do have a cat that would be a lovely subject foe a watercolor, I would love to have a painting of my son & daughter!
We had a family picture a couple years ago that is still my favorite pic. I’d love to have that one done.
My cat, Lucy!
Wow, that’s amazing! I would have the picture be of my cat.
My chihuahua, Chip, would be the subject. Beautiful painting of Miley and Howie! I so enjoy reading about their adventures.
What a beautiful portrait! The subject of mine would be my doggie-nephew who passed away about 1.5 years ago. I’d gift it to my sis who misses him dearly.
I would love to win a beautiful watercolor portrait! I think I would have to pick my kids. Thanks for a great giveaway!
My painting would be of our Bassett Hound, Molly, and our Peekapoo, Snuggles. They have a love-hate relationship! The hardest part would be getting them to sit close to get a picture made for the painting!! LOL – Karen
I am due with our child on 10/13 and would love to have a painting of him as a newborn. We are older parents – I’m 40 and my husband is 45 – and we both know that this will probably be our only child as this has not been the easiest of pregnancies. We are so blessed and would love to have this painting so that we can always remember our precious angel as a baby and for him to know how much we cherish the opportunity to be his parents.
It would be my wonderful poodle, that actually was my husband’s birthday gift, but she bonded with me. She is so smart and so much a part of our lives.

I would get a portrait of my two daughters! They are older and it is getting harder to get them together for a picture.
My best friend in the whole entire world is getting married next year and I would love to get her a custom painting done of her animals. She has the biggest heart and is absolutely obsessed with animals! She lives on the family farm with her fiance, and I would love to gift her a painting of her mini-pig Hamilton (who turned out to not really be that “miniature”) and/or her little Chiuaua Jackson :) She would be so thrilled for sure. One of her wedding showers she is actually asking people to bring donations for the humane society that she volunteers at, instead of gifts, this painting would be a hit!!!
My portrait would be of my three girls…they are each so unique in looks and personality, yet so sisters! This would be a treasure to have!!
Oh Our two dogs, Love her work. We have a 85lb Blue Tick Coon Hound (Dixie)and a 8lb Toy Yorkie (Gus) They love each other and we love them.
My Yorkie: Cupcake!…She is such a character! I would cherish a watercolor painting of her. Thanks!
We just finished a photo collage wall (frames only) and a beautiful watercolor of my precious 1 year old snuggle puggle, Kallie, would add be the center of this painting =)
Oh Wow! I would choose my best friend/awesome dog Penny.
My daughter’s dog would be the subject if I won this fabulous giveaway!
My son and our dog (black lab)…they’re inseparable.
That painting is fantastic!! I would probably get a picture done of my basset hound, Waylon.
My beautiful son and handsome husband would be the subject of the portrait. Love.
I would want a portrait of my dog! So adorable.
Our beautiful labrador retrievers.
Hmm – tough decision – most likely – our son & his best buddy – our dog Henri
My fingers are crossing big time for this one…I would adore a painting of my beloved chihuahua who I lost just over a year ago to kidney failure. He was so precious – I would love to have artwork of his sweet little face.
This is awesome!!! My beagle Lulu would be the subject… In fact, i was just looking for artists that do pet portraits the other day, and I love these!
tooo cute…would definitely do my 2 sweet scottish folds
I would probably also get a painting done of my dogs. We have a 2 year old, and while it would be wonderful to get one of her, our dogs are getting older, and won’t be around for ever… I would like something beautiful for my daughter to remember them by.
Our two Cavaliers, Scrappy and Murry!
I would have my puggle, Lola, and pug-mix, Gonzo, painted so I can hang it in my dorm them and see them while I’m away at college!
This would be a great addition to our home. Without a doubt, our yorkie, Tucker!
My sweet dog Blue and her best friend (cat sister) Bridget.
I would have her do a watercolor of my Chihuahua, Pika.
Oh how exciting is this! I would have my puppy dog and my step-daughter in the painting!
My subject would either be my family – with my dog included in there as well! :)
My 2 kids – what a great giveaway!
She did a great job capturing Miley and Howie’s personalities in their portrait. I would choose a portrait of my two grandchildren. Thanks so much for sponsoring this awesome giveaway.
I think i would have to ask her to paint our two puppies! We have adopted both of them this year, and they have quickly become the center of our lives! :)
We have a 2 year old daughter, but I would definitely chose our white lab, Moss. We got her 4 years ago. She arrived 2 weeks before we experienced a devastating loss. She will always be my big baby!
Chip, my sweet baby dog!
My one and only cat Roxy. She is a Russian Blue with so much sass and attitude. She is the sweetest thing and loves to snuggle. She is extremly talky and loves to play fetch with her sparkle ball. She would look great in a painting!
What a great giveaway! I have a favorite photo of my daughters that I would love to see as a painting.
I also have a monster Boston Terrier, Mr. PJ, that would be the subject of my portrait.
My children!
I love watercolor but have failed dismally at any attempt to do it myself. I would probably choose my daughter who is a senior in high school. She has no idea how beautiful she is; I would love to help her see that beauty.
I know that everyone would want a portrait of their child and I am no exception but the reason I would love to have it is that my beautiful daughter needs it for her self esteem! We have been through so much and have come out on top! She is quiet amazing and really beautiful but just does not feel it! This would help her to see herself as others do!
I would love to have one done of my dogs, Kahlua & MeiMei!
Don’t know how in the world I would choose, but it would probably be one of my parents…or maybe my boys…or Princess the Wonder Dog…
Our four year old maltipoo Miles, he is the love of my 6 year olds life. This would be adorable in her room!
What a wonderful giveaway! I have a wonderful photo of my 3 children taken at my youngest daughter’s high school graduation. I would love to have it made into a painting.
Hi! I would love to have a watercolor portrait of our little beagle/terrier. His name is Nick, but i secretly call him snickerdoodle.
Trinity… our Weimaraner…. she’s got such a cute head cock when you say squirrel…I would love to capture it.
My two adorable dachshunds of course!
My two loveable labs, Casey and Jessie!
I would have our late beloved dog, Jake, painted. My husband is still mourning his death 2.5 years later and I’d love to have a portrait to give him.
I would have our pets done as well! Great painting!
The painting of your puppies is too cute. I would choose my two kitty babies, Maddie and Trixie. Thanks for the chance to win!
I see that she does families too. I would love a portrait of my little clan.
I would love to have a portrait of my yellow labrador, Harley. She is a gentle giant and truly a girl’s best friend. I just took kayaking lessons so she and I can go out on the water together. I got her a person sized BodyGlove doggie life jacket and am just hoping she won’t tip us over! <3
I would have to choose our St. Bernard, Baxter! He is a giant mess, but we love all love him:). Thanks for the opportunity!
Our son and new daughter-in-law and our daughter. What a treasuee that would be.
Lovely portrait. the subject would be my husband and I.
My three kiddos. They are the light of my life.
Oh this is an easy one!! I’d have it of my darling 8 year old daughter! I adopted her in 2004 from China and had wanted to adopt since i was 9 years old!!! She is a special girl & the love of my life!!!
My best buddy…Beaumont, my Boston terrier! SO human-like…he knows when you’re happy or sad!
I have always wanted to have a portrait of my dogs, Zoe and Summer.
I would choose my two kiddos. These are just gorgeous!

What an amazing giveaway Amanda!!! I’m sure it would be a portrait of our first grandchild, Ryleigh Jane!! I pray that I win!!
I would have to say I would pick the subject I cherish the most! My daughter! Thanks!
The photo is remarkable! I would have one done of our “miracle baby”. She would look amazing in watercolor with a tutu on.

Thank you Amanda and Rachael!
I would have a portrait done of my husband and I. It would be the perfect anniversary gift as ours is coming up soon! :)
I would want one of my little girl and boy.
DAAAARling paintings! I have just the photo for it. Our little Terrier is sitting in a flower pot looking like he was just planted!
I would have to say … my kids! Her watercolors are GORGEOUS, as were all of your pictures from La Paz. Holy cow … what a beautiful place.
the 2 loves of my life; my 12 year old and 16 year old daughters. time goes so fast with so many changes daily. it would be great to have them, the way they are now in a watercolor. my next choice would be my ’3rd child’, my 4 year old maltese, abbi. or better yet…all 3 of them! great work.
I had to put my precious 4 year old Great Dane (named Tiny) to sleep last November and I miss him every single day. He would definitely be my subject.
I would have to say our newborn daughter! My husband and I were so excited to become parents, and since we brought her home from the hospital it’s been even better than we imagined. We love that sweet baby girl. It would be such a special treasure to have an artist capture her when she’s new to the world!
My girls and their new puppy! Thanks for the contest! Jennifer
The painting is awesome. I would definitely love one of my favorite furry buddy Tucker my yellow lab.
This is a beautiful painting of your cute dogs! I would love to have a portrait painted of my two cats.
