“Mornings” is a commissioned acrylic painting that I created from a cherished photograph, bringing it to life on canvas. The piece shows a young boy in a red hoodie sharing breakfast with his pug, who eagerly watches from behind. I wanted to capture that quiet, familiar moment — transforming it into a work of art that holds not just likeness, but emotion and memory.

As part of my portrait portfolio, “Mornings” reflects how I use custom commissions to preserve family stories in a way that photographs alone can’t. From the child’s focused expression to the dog’s watchful gaze, I aimed to paint the warmth of everyday life and the bond we share with those we love.

Created as a one-of-a-kind commission, this piece represents my passion for turning meaningful moments into timeless works of fine art. For collectors who love family portraits, pet and child artwork, or unique keepsakes, “Mornings” is a reminder of the beauty in art that tells a personal story.
