A quick share since I hear this question at least once a week.

"I love your dog's pictures on your wall, did you paint those?"

While I can't take credit for the lovely pictures of my animals, I can share this...

They are photos that have been converted to look like a water color painting. They are very affordable and were done by PAWSS.

Also, I had the digital image they created put on a canvas (also inexpensive) by Canvas on the Cheap.
