And of course, the artist, Rive Nestors poodle, Remy with her soulful eyes and brilliant shades of the palette all speak volumes about how crazy we Americans are about our four legged family members.
People from all walks of life are drawn to Nestors paintings for her ability to capture the soul of an animal while being visually exciting and skillful paintings.
Beth Townsend of Anne Getty and Associates remarked, "Rive captured Gigi, my Shih Tzu with such amazing accuracy considering she painted Gigi in pink, purple, and teal. It's very hard to please adults and children but Rive managed to do it perfectly. My children and I love the painting of Gigi".
The work is best described by the Artist, Rive Nestor, I begin every painting with the eyes, hoping to capture each animals personality and heart. From there colors seem to take on a life of their own, each wanting to be placed in their own particular way. And in the end, a painting is born of a unique and beautiful animal, one absolutely loved by someone.”
