Meet Gus, my beloved snuggle buddy. I had a few lap dogs over the years, but Gus was the best at cuddling. About the only thing that could pull him away was if someone was eating cheese. He loved people and was super sweet to everyone, but my lap was his favorite. When he died in 2016, he took a piece of me with him.
I had always wanted to paint this photo of him in my lap. It took a few years after his death before I could bring myself to do it. I decided drawing him on a keepsake box would perfectly express how much he meant to me. Mr. Gus… gone, but not forgotten.
This particular pet portrait is not for sale; however, I do take commissions to do a personalized portrait of your pet. Single portraits (top only) on an 8.33" x 8" wooden keepsake box are $250 and double portraits (top and bottom) on an 8.33" x 8" wooden keepsake box (hanging recommended) are $400.
