Cattle Dog

Did this painting for my son for Christmas.

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!!
