belle

I was missing painting my furry friends so I fit in one more dog before Christmas. I have been talking with this friend for a while about painting their furry family member. Belle is painted on an 8 x 10" gallery wrap canvas. It is pretty dark and sprinkling outside so I think the picture could be a little better. My photographing method is still lacking.
Our family is headed to Philadelphia to spend Christmas with one of our sons who has recently moved there. Hope you all find some time to enjoy loved ones this season. Merry Christmas!
Oh yeah, don't forget to sign up to receive e mails when I post.  "great white" needs a good home.sold

  3. Nice to have some time to catch up with your paintings and blog! Your dogs have so much personality and your two new still-lifes are wonderful! We hadn't seen any pears and onions from you in a while. Congrats on building a house and studio! So exciting!

  5. If I didn't know better, I would think that this is a painting of our last dog, not with us anymore...but Belle brings back lots of memories. Safe travels over the holidays and love to you and your family.
