parading pink

This is my entry for this week's Daily Paintworks challenge. We were asked to pick a subject and use a different rectange and color swipe for each stroke. Go to the site and read more about the challenge. I picked this tall poodle that I photographed at the end of my Susan G Komen walk in Boston. She had great light hitting her so it made for a fun photo. This is painted on a 5 x 7 gallery wrap canvas.
Happy Friday and Labor Day weekend. Hope you all celebrate it by doing something you enjoy!sold

  1. Great response to a wonderful Challenge! Carol has her students do this in her workshops, and it's a very intellectual exercise. Love the pink - it is true, their skin is so pink under that white fluff!

  8. This is a beauty and the rectangular brush strokes are gorgeous. Love the colors in the poodle's fur and the horizontal rectangles in the background add a whole other level of interest.
