Stella Pup (A fun puppy picture)
Currently in between art projects, so I was digging through some Stella puppy pic’s and found what Rich and I think is a great one. This was around six weeks old (I think) and she just had her first meal that didn’t come from her doggy mom, and appears to be wearing it. Stella is now fourteen months old, will soon her have her own Facebook page featuring our Little Brown Clown. She is NO longer a messy eater.

About Lori Rae-
As a painter I am enthused by subject matter of many genres. Those who know me well, know the subject matter, of which I am most fond, seem to emerge in re-occurring motifs. One of these motifs, Frenzied Felines, comes alive on canvas in a stylized manner, which not even I can explain. I have been painting them for several years, but with each new work I still find myself thrilled with the end result. Others must be thrilled, too, as many of my past and current pet portrait commissions are paintings of beloved pets immortalized by my stylized approach.
I credit Jasmine, my departed, feline studio angel for originally sending me down the pet portrait path. Currently, the four legged creature that has captured my heart is Stella, a “Little Brown Clown” of a Miniature Dachshund who lives to entertain my husband & me. It has been hard not to add dogs to my Mixed Palette with such an enthusiastic canine living among us.
Vintage Cars also appear on my darling list. I am fascinated with the shape of older cars. I love their curves, their lines, their shapes, and their greatness. When painting these classics my stylized self emerges again. The first vintage car I “had” to paint was a rusty, little, aqua colored Nash Metropolitan. Sitting, slanted on a curb in a historic, shotgun-house-filled neighborhood in New Orleans, it begged for my attention and eventually found it’s likeness on canvas.
Over the past two years, most of my works have been commissions. The demand is fueled by patrons seeking the perfect gift for a loved one, or by those who can’t forget the car they drove in the summer of ‘69. Most often, though, it is driven by pet owners, whose pets are members of their families, who wish to have their dog or cat painted by a truly original artist.
On the flip side of my business coin, I have run Lollipop Art Productions since 2003, managing emerging artists who exhibit in Maine businesses. The pool of artistic talent from which I draw to manage these venues is remarkable. The businesses I serve find they have more face time with their clients and the artists I represent find their own client lists growing.
