My pug Grace Kelly! She’s so fun and spunky- I’m not even sure if she could sit still that long for a portrait!

It would be of my doggie, Scruffy!!!
Either my two dogs or my two kids, hard to say…
I first saw this artist’s work on The Pioneer Woman’s website. I fell in love with her work instantly. I have a sweet 10 year old boxer mix which I would have done. I have been really debating whether I can afford to have this made of her. I am going to cross my fingers and hope I win. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

What a fantastic giveaway! I would love to get a watercolor of my cat, Persephone. Not only is she adorable, orange and fluffy, but she matches my decor too! Maybe even of her “scratching” my bedside file cabinet to wake me up in the morning. I put scratch in “” because although the noise is evident there are no marks in the spray painted cabinet that I have seen. She’s tricksey!
I would probably have one done of my niece and nephew and give it to my sister for her upcoming 30th birthday party. These are fantastic!
our old dog Quincey. my sister and i begged our mom for a dog for years after my parents divorced. finally in 9th grade we got a baby cocker spaniel, quincey. after we graduate high school and later college, got married and moved out my mom was left with just Quincey. He had to be put to sleep when he was 16 yrs old. (2 1/2 years ago) so my moms empty nest really was empty. i would love to have a painting of quincey as a gift for my mom. we haven’t buried his ashed yet because she can’t bring herself to let go of him. i think this would bring her comfort and allow her to let go, knowing he will always be with her, ashes or not.

I’d have a portrait painted of my cat Mittens, whom I lost last winter in one of the ice storms we had up here. She was 18 (almost 19) years old, and just gave up with the cold. She and I had been together since I was 10, more than half my life. I still miss her.

The subject of my painting would definitely be my 11yr old Boston Terrier, Puddy!! I always get a kick out of your Boston photos. They have such similar personalities, it’s like seeing pics of our own dog!

My beloved dog Barney would be beautiful in watercolor!
my portrait would be of my tuxedo cat, darby jean, born in my friend’s closet in brooklyn five years ago.

My subject choice would be my son, my daughter, and our loyal 10 year old yellow lab. Beautiful!
That would be a toss up. I instinctively want to say my 2 year old daughter, Charlotte. It is such a fun age to capture! However, we have a 1 year old Saint Bernard, Petey. He is pretty awesome and it is definitely hard to find St. Bernard things that look like him!

Definately my two pups!

My two dogs!
My kids, for one last portrait together, My son graduates HS this year and will move on to his next adventure. He is joining the Marine Corp. I would love this as a memory of the two of them together.
Thanks,
Angie
My watercolor painting would be of my Grandfather that passed away in 2009. Painting with water colors was a great hobby of his. It would be a treasure to have someone depict him in a water color, an everlasting tribute to him.
Great giveaway! The subject of mine would be my dog, Costa :) He has my heart!
Mine would have to be of my most recent loss of my sweetest little baby girl Mattie. She was the best dog ever…I think I would love to have my wesley cat in there too though. Black cat & White dog…they were the bestest of friends and I miss them so much. :(
My 4 adorable kiddos.
It will be hard to decide. Maybe my new mother-in-law-to-be’s little Nubian goat with the flyaway ears :)
I would have a painting made for my son of his beloved dog “Gretta”. We lost Gretta to bone cancer in January, after having to amputate her front leg last summer. During all she went through she never became mean……up until the very end she would allow my (then) one and a half year old granddaughter to pull, tug, even sit on her. At the same time my father was ill and Gretta would spend most days over at my parents house (they live in the same town) to keep him company. My dad passed away 6 days after Gretta. (We knew Dad was holding on till he saw his beloved Tigers when the National Championship!)
My painting would be of my dad who just left this world in July and I truly miss him everyday – He was my everything.
I would absolutely love to have a portrait of my son and daughter with our horse Stick. What a beautiful gift for my husband. Thanks for a chance to win!
My two English Bulldogs… Lola and Louie.
My mini dachshund, Gretchie!
I would love a watercolor of her! :)
Oh, I would absolutely love a water-color portrait of our pupster, Brody. We don’t have anything on the wall of him, and this seems great!! Hoping we win :)
My two Bostons of course; Lilly and Ollie.
Well, w/o a moment’s hesitation… & truly before I even saw your question, I knew just “who” would be my subject: our wonderful dog Colby, who sadly passed last August. I would love to honor him w/such a wonderful artist’s work. This painting is fantastic!
I would love to have a painting of my son! Too cute!
I would love to have one of my daughters. My 12 year old is changing so fast I’d love to capture her in watercolor before she is completely grown up and my 7 year old with her “brace face” smile.
This is so amazing!!!! I would choose my two grandsons…
Wow….I would love to surprise my husband with a watercolor of our 2 brittanys.
My husband! He’s quite distinguished looking!
Our sweet rescue Yorkie, Elliott.
My daughter definitely!
Thanks so much for offering the giveaway. I’d have a portrait of my pomeranian Tigger done. He’s turning 15 in December which is the age we lost our little girl pomeranian. It would be so nice to have a portrait of him. Thank you!
Oh, I just love her work! I would love for her to show how wonderful our 19 year old tiger cat is. His name is Stinky. He is 19 years old and and you would never know that. He was a Hurricane Andrew kitten and has lived a full life. This would be a lasting impression for my husband.
Oh how my family loves their dogs! I would love to present my son with a painting of his beloved Lab, Tag! Tag is a blessed member of his family. He deserves a place on the wall! Rachael’s work is awesome!
My kitty! His name is Orion.
A pekinese pug named Bandit. He is a ten year old dog of some new friends we have made working with Volunteer Christian Builders of Texas. Bandit is so sweet and well-mannered. The couple donate tons of hours each year all around the country helping to build and coordinate various projects. I know they would be so honored to have a portrait.
My dog Sasha. She is a pure white, deaf, Austrailian Sheperd and the best dog in the world!
Give to a dear artist friend who adores her Jack Russell.
Thank you.
Tex! He was our first dachshund that we lost in the beginning of January after 15 years. He is missed everyday by all of us.
If I won I would choose my yorkie, bentley.
My 2 beautiful Beagle pups, Daisy & Bomber!!
Our collie, Jake. He’s a gorgeous dog and it would be really cool to see his likeness in watercolor.
my two dogs! i would love this! beautiful!
Our dog, Sissy! Not sure exactly what kind of dog she is other than lost-and-found : ) She’s a cutie and looks like a small golden retriever at first glance. Some breeder acquaintances have said she looks like a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, which she does a bit when I looked up what that is.
My black lab/springer spaniel mix Madie!
OMG she is amazing! I would actually love to have a watercolor paint of my fur-baby curly, he’s 14 years old so I know even having him now is a gift =]
Thank you for the chance, XO
I’d have the painting done of my two dogs! We are getting ready to move overseas and can only take one of them, so it would be nice to have a keepsake from when they were both together :)
My yorkie Maltese dogs, Oliver and Stanley!
I would have my subject as mine and my fiances dog that we had to put down back in December. We had him for years and he was the best animal I have ever had. We have a small shelf with his ashes and pawprint and photo like this would make a memorial perfect!
If there is no limit to the number of subjects, my children with their dog. If there is a limit, I’ll have to pick our dog as I cannot choose between our blessings! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Awesome painting. I would want it to be done for my 3 “kids” (i.e. 3 chihuahuas: Lenny, Nyah, and Enzo) Lenny & Nyah are half brothers and sisters, and Enzo is a rescue chihuahuas whom we got 3 years ago. I never managed to get the 3 of them to look at my camera to get a group shot. Having a watercolor painting done is definitely the only way to go.
My subject would be my two BT’s, Maggie and Mia. I have two human children but I have plenty of pics of them :)
That painting is amazing. If I won I would have our weimaraner, Gunner painted. We have sold our house and moved into an apartment. In the meantime my in-laws are taking care of Gunner. They live 8 hrs away and my children 3, 4, and 7 are having a hard time understanding.
Ours definitely would be our little guy, Pippin! He’s a rat terrier/chihuahua mix – almost gthree years old that we adopted. We honestly just fall more and more in love with him each and every day and are stunned whenever people DON’T comment on how completely adorable he is! Can you tell we adore him? hehe!! Thanks for this opportunity!!
My dog Rosco died last December, he was 15. A painting of him and his best buddy would look perfect next to his ashes. LOVE this giveaway, and LOVE your dogs Amanda :)
Chiwi and Luca, my two chihuahuas ^.^
Our dog, Dharma. She was our first baby and died when she was only 5.
That is do different, love it! I would do a picture of my husband and I with our two dogs.
How awesome! I would get a portrait done of my dog, Joey. He has the cutest personality – he’s a goober! and I’d love a portrait of him “smiling”
that watercolor portrait is AMAZING! I would have the watercolor done of my parents’ cat, Gracyn! They love that cat and I’d love to give them the portrait as a gift!! Great idea for a giveaway Amanda!! :)
Oh, I would have to follow in your footsteps. My favorite subject for a watercolor would be my Golden Retriever, Riley. He is so cute and would be even cuter as a watercolor. Thanks for another great giveaway!
I would absolutely LOVE a gorgeous portrait of my devoted golden retrievers, Reilly, Chaplain & Caelan. What a wonderful giveaway ! All paws crossed at my house! Thank You Amanda : )

I would love a portrait like this of our cats Max and Madelyn!
Me – For the past 7 years I’ve been the one behind the camera – I think my family should have a picture of Mommy!
My daughter! :) Great giveaway!
I would without a doubt have my boston terrier, Henry drawn! I am living overseas right now and we didn’t get to bring him on this trip and I miss him so much every day. Seriously. Like more than you should really miss a dog. But, like the saying says, the more people I meet, the more I like my dog!
What an awesome giveaway! I am having a hard time deciding…it would either be my son or our paint mule! :)
I just love this painting! I would probably want one of my little beagle pup, or maybe my neice and nephew. They are sooo adorable.
I would love a portrait of my Casey-dog! She’s my special precious doggie – who still has a puppy face although she is very much a senior doggie!
My subject would be my parent’s house, the home I grew up in, and our dogs, Lovey and Emma, in the window. My parents are about to move, and I really wanted to give my Mom a picture of the house with the dogs in the window as a birthday gift before they move. It would mean so much to her!
It would definitely be my granddaughters. With three older grandsons, it was such a blessing to finally have little girls running about!
Your two pups came out gorgeous! I love the colors and depth of this beautiful watercolor painting. Their eyes feel as if they are looking directly at me through the computer screen! Beautiful work!
Blessings, Donna
I would have one made of my mother
I would adore a painting of my pets!!!
It would have to be my children….a watercolor of them would be amazing! Thanks for the giveaway.

Thanks!
I have the most beautiful 20+ year old daughters which would make a special painting indeed! PICK ME!!!
I would definitely pick my little Scottie, Luna. It’s hard to take a good picture of her because she’s all black, so a painting would be perfect!
I have a beautiful new granddaughter but I am afraid I would like to have my two Frenchies done,,,hate to admit it but the dogs are very special,,,
I would have a watercolor done of my little girls, ages 4 and 6. They are at an age right now that I would love to be captured in such a unique way/
I just got 2 of her watercolors as a 60th birthday gift for my father. They are so fantastic!! If I am lucky enough to win this I would get the 8×10 of my daughter. She is about to turn 6 and I want to capture her at this age. Thanks for the chance!
If I did a painting, the subject would be of my garden. I love flowers and especially when they are painted, it’s marvelous.
I would love to have a painting of Mt. Diablo in Northern California. I relocated to Southern California 3 years ago and I miss seeing that beautiful mountain (also known as Devil Mountain) every day. I’d love to have a painting of this mountain to hang on my wall so it would remind me of the wonderful years I was able to look out my window and see this beautiful landmark!
What a great giveaway. My beloved dog Noodles would be who I would choose. She is a 12 ye ar old terrier/lhasa mix and I adore her.
what an awesome give away! I would love to win this watercolor! I feel silly saying I would have my dog’s picture when so many are talking about their loved ones…but we loved our little Giz, who passed away in July. He was 12 years old and we found out in February that he had bladder cancer. He was the best little dog and we loved him so much…and we miss him terribly!
My white lab KD, because she is a rare color and just a beautiful dog who has brought so much joy to our lives.
Probably my beautiful red headed baby…..who is now a senior! Wow time has really flown by….a senior portrait….yep…..that is what I would want!

Hm….I might have to do one of my parakeets :)
We had to put our wonderful pet to sleep last month, it would be of his cute face!!

If I happened to win this giveaway, I would have this incredible black & white picture of my father turned into the watercolor painting. It was taken in Northern California last fall. My dad hated having his picture taken, so we had very few to choose from for his obituary when he passed away suddenly from a massive stroke in March. Pictures are great, but there is something so timeless about a painting.
A picture of my beautiful daughter and her beloved Boston. It would be the most beautiful and precious picture imaginable!
My picture would be of my fur babies! My husband and I can’t have kids so our dogs our are babies!

My husband and I just got a new puppy, Dexter, a little yorkie, and I would love to get a watercolor portrait of him….
The detail in that picture is amazing! What talent!
Love these portraits! The subject of mine would be my old cat that I’ve had since I was 9 years old! He’s SO portrait worthy!
I would love a portrait of my cat, Max. He was a very handsome and special Himalayan cat. He passed away last year and I would love to be able to have a special picture to honor his memory.
Either our adorable mutts, or our two horse! So hard to decide.
Thanks,
Caroline

I was undergoing chemo for my second breast cancer and wanted a loving companion. We had a liter of 5 and decided to keep a male. Sadly, we lost Lizzie in 2007 but have had the joy of raising Rudy since birth. He is my best friend and always there to brighten my day!I am truly blessed to be his owner and the recpient of his boundless love and kisses!
Hello!
I would do the only portrait I have as a family with my little one, my two stepkids, and my husband and I. It is unfortunate that we cant see our stepkids as often (living in FL and them in NC makes it difficult) so thats what I would do! Our one and only family portrait!
My Westie – Max. He has had so many health issues and not yet 2. He deserves to be painted for all he has been through!
Ooooh that’s awesome! I’d love one of my husband and I!!!
I would love to have one painted of my cats! I love their little faces!
My three daughters.
The subject of my painting would be my cat Kyle. I inherited him from my now husband. When my husband moved from California to Baltimore, his mom told him to get some kind of pet so he wouldn’t have to be alone all the time, and in walks Kyle. When my husband decided to move from Baltimore to Chicago he drove Kyle all the way across country, where Kyle cried the whole way! Kyle’s always by my side, I call him my little dog kitty, because he will follow me everywhere and even as I am typing this he’s up on the side of the couch sitting right next to me. I never was much of a cat person, but Kyle has a special place in my heart, now and always!
My beautiful Siamese cat, Kado.
