Who would have thought that this painting would have transformed into bull terrier gifts. Odalisques were an art form popular centuries ago, and there’s a lot that can be learned about the Turkish, English, and French cultures through this art form.  But here at Old World Pet Portraits headquarters, a beautiful, historical odalisque stands on its own as a jumping off point to have fun with anthropomorphism. It’s a way to celebrate the love we have for our companion animals. After all, attributing human characteristics to animals is a way to show how connected we feel to them. Mind you, no animals are ever harmed creating this art. Every one of my portraits are created from photos and historical reference. Even when the subject is not nude, I don’t actually dress animals to create my art.
