Janet R. Broome
Animal Portraits
| Portrait of Curry |
|
Allow
me to introduce you to not only a talented artist but a fellow founder of Carolina R&R. Not long after starting
our rescue, Janet Broome began painting the faces of our foster dogs. She began
with Curry, our first red male foster. Curry’s eyes draw you to look over
your own shoulder to see what he’s watching. His eyes look alive and moist.
| Portrait of Piper |
|
Since
Janet still had red paints on her palette, she next tackled painting Piper, a red female we rescued from a shelter in Georgia. Piper’s smiling face reaches out to grab you from her portrait, a reflection
of her happiness in her Forever Home. I’m tempted to reach out to pet her
whenever I see it.
| Portrait of Indy |
|
Janet took a break from painting
the foster dogs to paint a commission for friends of ours. Indy’s portrait
is so realistic that my first impression was that I was viewing the photo Janet uses for her reference. Specializing in portraits of cats and dogs, Janet is not only
an artist of the heart but she is self-taught. If you’ve ever wanted to capture that something special about your pet, Janet can do it. From just a few photos, this talented lady can produce a timeless gift that you’ll treasure always.
You’ll also be helping our rescue because Janet will be donating a percentage
of the commission to Carolina R&R. Click on any of the portraits above to see more of Janet's poignant portraits.
