Matthew Owns: Extreme Pet Portraits

Matthew_owens_1

Chicago artist Matthew Owens describes his work as "portraits of your animal the way
you see them first thing in the morning as you open your eyes.”  I love the intimacy he conveys through his extreme close-ups, so close you can almost smell the puppy breath.  Intoxicating!

Visit his website for more information.

    Your site is fabulous. It’s so neat to see the various styles of doggy art. Wish I could have one of each. Keep up the good work.
