maggie

This is a loose study of a yorkie named Maggie. I took several photos of her a few months ago for a commissioned piece. Thought this photo deserved some attention. It is painted on an 8 x 10" gallery wrap canvas.
Headed to Boston !!! Knew there would be a freakish heat wave for the walk. Oh well, we Alabamians are used to heat.
