Custom Dog Portraits by Amy Reges
These are a few examples of special Labrador paintings and mix-breed
dog portraits I have done which show my simplified style and variations.
Your commissioned artwork will be a family treasure and a unique celebration
of the bond you value and share with your pet. Think of OtterTail Lab Art
for your next special gift. Please scroll to see examples of black Labs and
mixes, yellow Labs and a chocolate Labrador paintings.

This example shows the photo that I used for reference. Good quality photographs
of your dog will contribute to the best finished painting. Photos should
be fairly close up, in focus, in good light, and preferably taken outside
or certainly with NO flash.

capture their spirit in the portrait.

are painted in acrylic on stretched canvas.
