Long hair or shaggy dogs are so fun to paint. This little yorkie is a commission piece for a friend. This is her Mom's dog and it is a surprise gift for a special birthday. Had a hard time getting Maggie to slow down long enough to get her photo. I hope her Mom likes this. I took some artistic license to push some of the colors I saw. Maggie kind of went from grey to orangey (there I go making up new words again) in other areas of her body. Painted this on a 6 x 8" deep cradled gesso board. So fun!SOLD
This is fantastic, Carol! So full of energy, character and colour - I'm sure 'Mom' will love it!
ReplyDeleteRe familiar with fine brush work.
