Barrie Barnett, one of the only renowned dog artists working solely in pastels, paints for clients ranging from busy New Yorkers to bustling Londoners.. “Pastels are great for getting that sheen on dog’s fur; in part because the individual pastel particles sit on the surface of the paper; reflecting light,” Barnett explains, showing why she believes that quality of pastel to be greater than that of other mediums. Barnett’s paintings exalt the dog to an almost spiritual level, the pastels provide a luminous and sensual depiction. Her unique and refreshing use of a classic medium, as well as her exquisite artistic talent and years of experience, allow her to create breathtakingly memorable portraits of dogs of all breeds, ages, shapes and sizes.
