The Art of Gabriele Bungardt
Gabriele Bungardt has created an extraordinary array of heartwarming images of our canine and feline companions. She is best known for her larger than life close-ups which focus on the animals eyes — whether they are wide and alert, or heavy-lidded, in the throes of slumber — we can see the souls of our best friends staring back at us.
You will find more information about her Pet Portraits on the about me and faq pages. Pricing and size information can be found on the pricing page.
Below are some examples of portrait paintings and the photographs that inspired them. You can also visit the picture gallery to see more of her work. For a timeless portrait painting of your four legged family member contact Gabriele at: gabriele@ipaintyourpet.net
