Bringing home the bunny: Important information for rabbit owners
They are cute and cuddly and can be fun to watch as they play and hop for hours. Rabbits are gentle, social creatures with big personalities and even bigger popularity with pet parents. These little cuties are commonly thought of as part of the rodent family but they are in fact lagomorphs.

Pet portrait artist honors pets with beautiful and detailed paintings
Pets are like family
members. They have personality, quirks and emotions. Pets are often treated
just like family- they get gifts, go on vacations and end up in family photo
albums. There are so many different ways that pet owners invite their animals
into the family circle.
Some pet owners chose
to honor their pets with a custom pet portrait. This special piece of art is
both home décor and a way to show your love for that special family member. The
number of talented pet portrait artists is rising and these artists are
constantly raising the bar. When a client commissions a piece they are
generally looking for a final product that is detailed, polished and true to
their pet. California based pet portrait artist Suzanne Leonard delivers a
finished product that is all that and more.
