Gus and the Bluebonnets - acrylic 36”x24”

I am very happy with Taly’s painting of my German Shorthaired Pointer, Gus.  The process was simple.  My parents sent Taly some background options and she provided them with some mockups so that we would have an idea of the finished product.  After they selected the background, Taly finished painting in a few short weeks.  I will proudly display it in my home for many years to come. It was a great gift.

Georgia chases squirrels - acrylic 24”x36”

As enjoyable as Taly’s artistry is to us – our sweet girl engaged in her favorite pastime, chasing squirrels – we truly loved being part of the collaborative process to create it. 

Taly exchanged multiple drafts with us, meticulously incorporating every detail we pointed out on Georgia’s coloring, posture, and expression. 

It certainly paid off, as we have a perfect reflection of her in her natural environment.

Moxie - acrylic, 12”x12”

I commissioned a painting from Taly after my family's boxer mix passed away, she was absolutely wonderful to work with. My family and I couldn't be happier with the final product, it brought us all to tears. Taly captured my dog's personality perfectly and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. We'll treasure her painting forever.

Vicky’s dogs - acrylic 36”x48”

I had admired Taly's work for a period of time. Her technique, composition and use of color was compelling to me.

So  when it came time to fill a rather large space in  my new home I knew exactly who to commission to create beautiful art pieces to memorialize the three breeds of dogs that are cherished by my family. 

Taly captured the essence of my Basset Hound, Golden Retriever and Golden Doodle to a tee. In addition she created a stunning art piece that will be valued by my family for years to come. I am more than a satisfied patron of her work and would recommend her highly.

Stuart and Randolph - acrylic 24”x24”

I had been looking for a local artist to paint a favorite photo of my two beagles for some time, when I saw Taly painting at the Wags n' Whiskers event in Shirlington. I was so impressed by her work, I knew I needed to contact her. 

To begin, Taly requested relevant details on the dog's personalities and additional photos to ensure she captured their unique personalities and markings. She sent photos of the painting as it was being developed to ensure we would be satisfied with the final product. Her painting exceeded my expectations, I love it! She captured our beagles’ personalities perfectly and included details that make the painting so special.

She offers a wide range of sizes and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Taly to anyone!

Scooter - acrylic 24”x36”

Taly is amazing.  She has done 6 paintings for me, 5 of my dogs, a special family vacation place in watercolor and a painting for a friend of her donkeys. Her talent and ability to capture the personality of pets is remarkable, their eyes sparkle and they truly light up the room.  

Taly takes the time to understand what you are trying to capture and will make recommendations for best size, location and lighting to enhance the painting.  She includes you along the way to review her progress and make any changes that you want to make.  

I treasure all of my paintings, will commission her again and again.  I highly recommend Taly for your paintings.

Layla - acrylic 12”x12”

When I knew my Layla had cancer, I asked Taly to do a portrait of her. I gave her a picture I had taken and asked her if she could put flowers around her head like a crown, with a beach background.  Because her ears were  so cute, Taly suggested a necklace of flowers instead, which was perfect. The finished product brought me to tears. Layla loved her trips to the beach and this beautiful portrait captures her perfectly. Especially her eyes. Thank you so much for capturing her!

Josh’s cats - watercolor, 24”x18”

Taly's work to paint my kitties was exceptional. All she needed were a couple cell phone pictures and she was able to perfectly use her imagination to combine them into a beautiful painting!
