Product Review: Dish Towels by Robbie Craig's Northern Projects
I've been a big fan of Robbie Craig's artwork since I first discovered his nature-inspired creations on Facebook a few years ago. Craig's artwork is "inspired by the untouched and rugged landscape of Canada’s north and captures the essence of Canada's beauty in his own unique style." Craig, located in the Northwest Territories, creates wildlife and landscape artwork with a very distinct Canadian style. I love his use of lines and colour, and how he captures the spirit of the animals he brings to life in his work. He doesn't just create his art to hang on the wall, he also has other products available with his personal Canuck touch.

Pet portrait artist honors pets with beautiful and detailed paintings
Pets are like family
members. They have personality, quirks and emotions. Pets are often treated
just like family- they get gifts, go on vacations and end up in family photo
albums. There are so many different ways that pet owners invite their animals
into the family circle.
Some pet owners chose
to honor their pets with a custom pet portrait. This special piece of art is
both home décor and a way to show your love for that special family member. The
number of talented pet portrait artists is rising and these artists are
constantly raising the bar. When a client commissions a piece they are
generally looking for a final product that is detailed, polished and true to
their pet. California based pet portrait artist Suzanne Leonard delivers a
finished product that is all that and more.
