Still enjoying the opportunity to help folks give special gifts. This was commissioned by a friend who is surprising her daughter with the painting Christmas morning. Charlie was the daughter's cherished pet and I hope this will bring back good memories. He is painted on an 8 x 8" gallery wrap canvas. What a fun job I have.
I love Charlie, such depth in his eyes! I love how you brought the green into his fur. Beautiful! Hope to see you at your next show!
ReplyDeleteI love this painting, Carol. The contrast of darks against lights, your wonderful color palette . . . and the sweet expression captured on Charlie's face. Just fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dog, and a beautiful painting to capture him! Great job on his expression, Carol. Wonderful eyes. And I love his spotted muzzle. I know the owner will love this!
ReplyDeleteCharlie is one gorgeous little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I imagine this will bring tears of both joy and sadness for her. What a wonderful gift! I still look at my Gio painting that Angela Elledge gifted me with. In fact it sits right in front of me as I get on the computer each day.
ReplyDeleteCharlie has such a beautiful face. Love the markings and his eyes and nose are so good! I especially like his ears- gorgeous colors all mixed in the wonderfully rendered hair. Love the bit of green reflected there:) Lucky you to get to give treasures and gifts that will mean so much.
ReplyDeleteCharlie is so sensitively painted Carol, it is sure to be a treasure!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured such a sweetness in this dog portrait. I know the owners is going to love, love, love it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou do have a fun job! Another dear, dear portrait! Rich gorgeous color in the fur!
ReplyDeleteI was about to comment on Sampson above (Wonderful job on him!) but decided to scroll down and see more. This one stopped me dead in my tracks -- those eyes! And just the whole thing is really special, Carol.
