COCO'S PORTRAITS ~ Specializing in capturing an extraordinary glimpse into the soul of the pet you love.

Welcome to COCO's Portraits, a website where you will discover magic brilliantly captured in one-of-a-kind portraits created by celebrated artist Coco Larrain.

Located in Brewster, Massachusetts, on enchanted Cape Cod, COCO's quest is simple: to create paintings and collage portraits that convey the spirit within each one of her subjects. Please take time to browse through her portfolio on this website to observe how the artist conveys the individual personality in all people, pets and landscapes.

For COCO, painting a portrait is remarkably rewarding. It is her love for the 'existence' - the beauty - within all things, which inspires her to capture the nuances inherent in each person, animal, landscape and even, still life. Proof of this exists in the amazing details, vibrant colors and life-like expressions of her subjects. Her creations are amazingly realistic pieces of artwork that not only bring pleasure to you, the viewer, but which are sure to be complimentary additions to your home or office.

Coco also offers exceptional and unusual Collage Portraits incorporating her amazing calligraphy - using words you write about your pet - with painted drawings and other memorabilia you and she may come up with. The results are stunning one of a kind works of art.

The process is simple. Please read below to see how you can commission your pet's portrait from COCO's Portraits. Thank you for taking the time to view her website and feel free to call her with any question you might have.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Dear Coco,
I can't get over how superbly and accurately you have captured Waffles--not just in the obvious terms of size and pose and coloring, but the real essence of our sweet little companion. It is in the color of his whiskers, the flop of his ears, the tiny white spot on his little black nose, and, of course, the fixed warm gaze in his eyes staring out from under classic bushy Schnauzer eyebrows. I can't imagine that there could be any way to improve on what you have created. I have taken so many photographs of Waffles over the years, but you have captured his spirit better in your portrait than even my best photos did. That was the goal and you have done it. Thank you for throwing your heart into the mix and creating this timeless image of our very dear Waffles.

New Work: Collage Portraits
I also offer collage pet portraits incorporating calligraphy, using your words about your dog, poetry or whatever you choose to say, my drawing of your dog, and various collage items. This is a unique and less expensive option to an oil portrait.
Collage
This is a series of collages were on exhibit April 8-19, 2009 at the Yarmouth Cultural Center, Yarmouth, MA. A review of the exhibition: www.collageart.org/reviews
Some pieces are a compilation of multi-generational pieces from my son's note book scribbles and drawings to my late grandmother's decoupage scraps, to my own artwork with a ten year collection of found materials.
Pet Paintings
I create oil portraits of any type of pet or animal. Working from photographs, which I prefer to take, I will recreate that special connection you have for your "best friend." If distance is an issue, I can work from your photos. Keep in mind that the more information I have, the more able I can duplicate the likeness of your pet. The eyes are the doorway to the soul, making it very important to get a good photograph of your pet's eyes.
