jake the bait







 This is a commission piece and has a great story to go with it.  I met a girl last year at an art show in Nashville and she bought a painting from me. She kept my business card and e mailed me last week with a special request to paint Jake.  Jake is her finace's dog that he got soon before their courtship began.  She accused him of getting Jake to help attract girls. I guess it worked.  Jake also played a part in the proposal by having the ring tied around a ribbon on his neck.  Good stuff! My new friend is going to surprise him with this for a groom's gift.
This is painted on a 12 x 12" gallery wrap and she is going to hang it at the site in her home where he proposed.sold
