Here’s a portrait of my sweet Mikey. He passed away last year and it was a very difficult loss for us. So because of that, this is my favorite animal/pet portrait. I just love how regal and dignified he was in the pose. It’s drawn in charcoal on a gessoed @trekell_art_supplies panel. @the_portrait_society . . . #rodneythompsonart #stayhome #trekellartsupplies #charcoal #charcoaldrawing #charcoalportrait #petportrait #animalportrait #dogportrait #mikey #mikewazowski #dogsofinstagram #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahua #art #art #artist #generalpencil #fineart #artinbend #austinartist #texasartist #creativeuprising #worldofpencils https://www.instagram.com/p/B_74hdeHeYm/?igshid=1ryf0iufw22e3

Here's my piece for the Portrait Connection Show at @layorart in Bend, OR. . Portrait Connection is a wonderful organization that connects families with artists to create portraits of their children who are suffering from a serious health condition. The portraits in this show captured some of the most beautiful faces I have ever seen. The children tonight were incredible little human beings who have gift for lighting up a room with a lot of love. #rodneythompsonart #portraitconnection #oilpainting #fineart #artinbend #texasartist #austinartist #portraiture #portraitpainting #layorart (at LAYOR Art + Supply)
