I came across Tibi Hegyesi's artwork at Woofstock in June 2009. At the festival there were a ton of artists who did portraits of your pets. All were very good, but Tibi's stood out.
They were done on oversized canvasses and captured the expression of joy in the dog's eyes. He does the portraits in different materials such as oil, acrylic or pastel. What really stands out to me is that these portraits aren't done to look exactly like a photograph, they are almost caricatures, yet they are able to capture the soul and personality of the dog. I've never come across portraits using this technique.
I am tempted to order one for Elli, however they are about $500-$1000 so it is something I will have to save up for. But, from looking through Tibi's online gallery I think this cost is worth it. I can't wait to have one of my own Tibi originals taking up the wall of my living room!
