My dog is like my first kid - my furry soul mate. I have always wanted a painting of him - and I found Rusty at The Fine Gallery through a neighbor who also had a pet painting done. I sent Rusty a picture of my furry family member - and we communicated via email. I was so excited by the finished product - that I also asked Rusty to do a painting from a casual picture of my husband and I from our wedding rehearsal - equally adorable. Both are hanging in our homes and give us so much happiness - and many, many compliments. We will definitely be back!
