The Painted Pet

Are your crazy for animals? In The Painted Pet, artist Debra Cootware, shares sixty of her commissioned pet portraits. Lovingly rendered, they will delight your eyes and warm your heart. This book for animal lovers of all ages includes silly haiku and cinquain poetry. It's an all-round feel good book. 

Debra has been painting for over 30 years. She currently lives in Greenfield, Massachusetts with her husband, Greg, and their sweet dachshund, Moxie the Doxie. She is the book's cover girl. 

These pet portraits are some of the 70+ portraits painted during the first year of the Pandemic. These well loved pets are still being cherished by families in portrait form. Thank you to all you animal lovers! I have enjoyed the hours spent with your pets.
