Professional Pet Portraits Painted In Oils From Your Photos.
Debbie LaFrance; Animal Artist
I have been painting animals of all kinds for that past 20 years while working as a licensed Vet Tech. I feel that I know the personalities of the different breeds as well as how they look physically. I strive to bring that personality & realism into your portrait. Since I also work as a wildlife rehabilitator and was employed with a zoo I also have a love of the wild things which comes through in my painting. Click on my different Galleries to see some of my different paintings.
My Featured Painting is called Pelican Bay. I painted it as a special gift using my daughters photos as reference pictures. Check out the new porthole pics in my Everything Else Gallery.
I am excited to announce that almost any of my paintings can be transfered to clothing, notecards, mugs etc. If you want to have your portrait or any of my paintings in one of these formats please click the link below or e-mail me & I will add it to my shop.
I have added a For Sale page. Here I will feature new paintings such as my Wild Raptor series featuring some of my rehabilitation birds and some of my extra paintings. The home page featured painting "Bird Dogs" is for sale there. I also have some painted jackets and scrubs for sale.
I have done quite a few in home murals but I am presenting my first public mural. I painted it for a Childrens Advocacy Room which is a room used for interviewing battered and abused children & also for supervised visits. I wanted it to be realistic but fun. The portholes were added for effect on a side wall. Click on the Undersea Mural tab.
The Fabric Painting Page shows off my designs on fabric, I will have an assortment of painted jean jackets & scrubs available for sale soon.
I also did a series of Corgi Agility Paintings called the "Celebration of a Corgi". They featured my late Pembroke Welsh Corgi "Teddy". There were 15 in all and they are some of my most inspired action paintings. I sold the collection on eBay. To read the story and see the paintings Click on Corgi and Teddy tabs.
I illustrated the childrens book Elf Dog written by Pam Redmond. Click the Elf Dog link to see more. To buy your own copy go to www.elfdog.com.

The story begins with the excitement of Christmas and celebrates other holidays throughout the year while gently touching on separation and belonging. Click on the Elf Dog tab.
