Fashion Illustrator Barbara Tyler Ahlfield Adds Fashionable Pet Portraits to Her Portfolio
Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Barbara Tyler Ahlfield, a leading retail fashion illustrator for the last three decades announces the addition of pet portraiture to her portfolio. Commission requirements entail detailed photos of the pet subject as well as a description of personality.
"Fashionable painting should not be limited to people only, a fashionable attitude can be conveyed in animal portraiture as well," says Ahlfield.
Ahlfield, a keen observer of her own pets, admires the natural grace and built-in fashionable sensibility in the limitless variation of the suiting of our four-footed companions. Her animal oil portraits combine a keen likeness with an elegant attitude and complimentary background.
Ahlfield has the special ability of capturing a pet’s unique personality in her work which creates a life-like energy in their portrait.
“One of my favorite and first pet portraits is of my own pet, Cheeto kitty. I was able to capture the elegant setting she lives in but accentuate her quirky personality in a beautiful work of art. By offering this new service as part of my portfolio it allows anyone to keep the memory of a pet alive on the family portrait wall,” continued Ahlfield.
In a soft launch of new addition to her portfolio, two of Ahlfield’s pet portraitures were exhibited at Artexpo New York/SOLO 2013 in March to many favorable reviews. Please visit Ahfield’s website to request a custom pet portraiture.
Ahlfield will be exhibiting her Fantasy Fashion Oil collection entitled "Pose" at Artexpo/SOLO New York in April of 2014. This collection will be large 4/5' canvasses of women in fantasy fashion mode.
