I have a lab named Sirius as a pet. I am going to law school. I want to be an agricultural lawyer. I train horses as well. I take photos of horses and the surrounding scenery. I own a good camera.  I like making large photographs. I have a horse on loan for two weeks. My horse is called Bob. I am in school.
I love horses. I own a german shepherd named Barnaby. I do not like scorpions. I work for the US postal service. My favorite color is grey. I like to paint in my spare time. I paint weekly as requested by clients. I haven't ridden a horse in the last few months. I like inspiring youth through painting. I find clients mostly through word of mouth and via online advertising. I like painting with oils.  I do all sized paintings. I like to experiment with painting.
If you have the interest, I would love to commission a painting of my dear Sirius. I would definitely be interested in that! Does your dog sit still well? He can sit still... on a good day. Can you work from a photograph? I can. Both animals and children can be tough to get to sit still. haha Sirius has a mind of his own and can get a little unruly at times. But I think I can get him to pose briefly for a portrait. What size would be best for you? It doesn't matter to me. It depends on how much you want to pay. haha On my end, size doesn't make a big difference. I can make from tiny wallet-sized to large wall-sized. I'm talking about the photo. How about an 81/2 x 11, letter-sized, landscape? I think it will give you sufficient detail to do the painting. As for the painting itself, I'd like something I can hang on my den wall, say poster-sized.. Okay. That will do. After you give me the photo, it will probably take me around a month to finish the painting. Is there a particular date you need it by? No, please take your time. Sirius doesn't care about time all that much, and I have my other work to do. I'll get the photo to you this Friday after work if that's OK.  haha I'm glad you have a patient dog. Okay, that sounds fine! I will get everything set up and go through my supplies. I know it's probably hard to anticipate cost at this point, but can you give me a ballpark figure? Hmm. It'll depend on how detailed and the colors I'll need, etc., but I'll say $150-200.
