Misty, Little Bear and Bobby!
I've been flooded with commissions for hamster portraits this holiday season and it's been a delight painting each one! A big thank you to all my clients who entrusted me with their beloved pet's portrait! |

If I'm not mistaken, they're all 'syrian hamsters'.
They may look like little fur balls, but they have the subtlest shades and highlights that present a little challenge even for the most experienced artist!
And those sweet beady little eyes... :)
All three clients requested their hamster's name in the portrait, so I tried to find ways to incorporate the name using fonts that reflect the character of the animal.
Which is your favourite?
