Summertime Splash!

August 2, 2016 Meredith Gillespie

This 11" x 14" watercolor was commissioned by my client as a gift for her good friend! This was a fun painting to work on as it is a bit of different take on my usual pet portrait. It is a nice balance between a seascape and portrait. Horton looks as if he is right in his element!

I am a classically trained artist whose work is held in private collections around the country. My artistic career began as a medical illustrator in 2003. After spending ten years focused on the fast-paced med-legal illustration world, I rekindled my lifelong passion for creative art in 2013 when I began creating custom works for a variety of clients. Pet portraits quickly became a popular item for clients. In addition to these paintings, my range includes a wide variety of animal drawings, rural landscapes and extensive studies of the human figure.
