Bulldog pup

I have been waiting for the sun to get a good photo. This was done from a photo of my nephew's pup. Fun to do with all the colors in a white dog. Lately I am loving doing these pets. Will have to do some cats. It is an 8x10 oil.

A dog named Annie

Finished this painting of my brother and sister-in-law's dog, Annie. She is a labradoodle. I love her silky coat. This is an 8x10 oil.

Aussie

This week's pet portrait, from a photo of Sheila Webster Bonham who gave permission. I left out her other dog, Lily, to do just the Aussie. It was fun and my first painting of the new year.

Cattle Dog

Did this painting for my son for Christmas.

Rottie Female 2

Did some more painting on this as those who commissioned it wanted the dog to be darker. Hopefully they will be satisfied.

Rottie Female

Finished this painting this week. A friend's Rottweiler. She is so alert and watchful.

Waiting, dog portrait

Finished this today. A challenge, doing those whites which aren't really white! I was inspired by the eyes on this dog and wanted to challenge myself to do a white dog.

Portrait of Rusty

This is a portrait of my dog Rusty. Done in pastel 10 x 14. I am hoping to do more pet portraits, especially now since the weather has changed. A friend and I were to go plein air painting today but after walking Rusty this morning at 41 degrees with rain in the air I passed it up. Just too cold and dark. I know I am wimpy! But those fingers don't work well when they are cold and stiff!!
