The Noisy Dog Studio {live with what you love}
Sometimes, unnecessary “necessities” make their way into my possession. You see, Leigh Jackson from The Noisy Dog Studio followed me on Twitter a few weeks ago. I always make it a habit to pop by the url listed in the bio of my new followers to determine if I’d like to follow them back. I hadn’t intended on shopping that morning, but…
I visited Leigh’s website and was instantly overwhelmed by the tender pups I saw staring back at me. To my added delight, she was cleaning out her art studio and the contemporary dog portraits were listed at 60% off! (Go ahead, pop on by. They’re still on SALE!) With The new Country House and all… I figured if my allergies wouldn’t allow for a furry pup of my own ~ perhaps a dog painting would hit the spot?
P.S. Leigh’s specialty is painting custom portraits of pups – After seeing her work in person, I am totally tempted to order a commissioned piece with Cecil’s super-handsome mug on it!

I have a custom painting of my old dog Jack that my best friend commissioned for me, and I just adore it… even if it makes me miss him like mad! A really great gift idea, though.

Ok, this post made me decide. I’ve been thinking of doing a portrait of my dog Henry. He’s a lovely dog, all 140lbs of him! I was afraid that people would think I was crazy and a little weird for wanting a portrait of my pet. But I’ve seen so much fabric and design work that incorporates dog “stuff”, that I was feeling a little better about it. Now this post……seals the deal! Gonna do it!

Leigh’s portraits are AMAZING! Did you know that her work was originally featured in a pet portrait roundup that Domino mag did back in the day? She did a portrait of our Basset Hound Oliver several years ago, and it is truly one of my prized possessions!

Ooh! I’m so excited to learn of her! I’ve been wanting to have a portrait of Billy done for years, and she might just be the right one. Absolutely adorable.
