This is a 9" X 12" colored pencil Pet Portrait on Bristol Board. This one is of "Cindy" the Rottweiler who's mom also grows orchids, so I put beautiful orchids surrounding her baby girl. She loves it! A portrait like this usually takes about 2-3 weeks for me to complete. It is sprayed with an acrylic fixative when it is finished to give it a slight gloss, and preserve the colors.

My name is Therese and I am the owner of Dancing Peacock Productions. I am an artist and creative person who can make custom artworks for you. I have created the "Power Portrait" and also the "Dream Box" which I custom make for my clients. The "Power Portrait" is an image of a person surrounded by images of things that they love. It can be anything from their pets or favorite animals, favorite flowers, places where they have been, instruments they play, sports they enjoy, or whatever they would like to have surrounding them. The portraits can also include more than one person. My clients tell me that they are amazed at how I am able to see the best in them, and weave all the empowering aspects of their live into the portrait. They often use them as a focal point for meditation, and to beautify and uplift their personal environment.
The portraits are usually done in colored pencil on illustration or Bristol Board.
My "Dream Boxes" are personalized images that I hand draw on the top of wooden boxes of various sizes & shapes, also with colored pencils. I then paint the rest of the outside & inside of the box with acrylic paint, and put removable felt inside for easy cleaning. You can put a picture, small object, or written statement inside your "Dream Box" of anything that you wish to dream about or manifest in your life. Meditate on it several times per day, especially right before you go to sleep, and have sweet dreams! When you wake in the morning, write down your dreams and see if they help to lead you in the direction of what your desires. The images on the dream box have special significance for the person who commissions it, and of course your "dream Box" can be used for any purpose you desire, such as a jewelry or keepsake box, or even to keep your business cards in. They make great one of a kind gifts, and your imagination is the only limit as to what your special design will be!
