SUGAR & EMILY

GRAPHITE, 24”X18”, 2024

ARTIST: KAONIS THOMAS

Your relationships established with pets will never be forgotten.  I smile when I think about pets throughout my life.  I’ve owned dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, iguanas. Maybe my love for animals is motivating me to establish a Pet Portrait drawing Business. 

The creative challenge for this pet portrait consisted of incorporating the owner.  I believe adding people into pet portraits makes the art more special and more valuable.  Art is an investment that appreciates in value. 

A differentiator for me is my ability to draw people and pets equally well.  I am a diverse fine artist, but creating pet portraits is a great way to stay busy creating art, sustain creative skills, meet interesting people, meet interesting pets, explore creative challenges with the elements of art, such as, composition.

The German Shepard, known for its loving nature and trainability, requires ample mental stimulation and exercise to thrive.  Owning this breed can be a fulfilling yet time intensive experience, they love to play.

 Reflecitng  on my German Shepard, I cherish memories of long walks, engaging conversations and spirited play sessions.  Each day with him was a joyful adventure.  Today, I create Pet Portraits and I am pursuing Pet owners and animal lovers that would love to commission a professional, beatiful drawing of their treasured family member.  PETS ARE SPECIAL !!!

PARIS

GRAPHITE, 24”X18”, 2024

ARTIST: KAONIS THOMAS

My mother told me I have a new little sister.  Of course, my mind shifted to KJV, Genesis 21. Lol.  Then she said her name is Paris.  

Fast forward a year, I took a photograph of Paris in order to practice animal drawing as Pet Portraits.  This is my drawing of Paris, she is spoiled rotten and thinks she is human.  Both, my mother and Paris, smiled when I revealed the framed drawing of my little sister.


I have decided to market KAONISFINEARTS as a Pet Portrait business project  because I enjoyed drawing animals and people love their pets..  This is my first official Pet Portrait Commission.
