Jada is a rescued cocker. The painting is a surprise for her owners who are getting married at the end of this month. Their very good friend/dog sitter had it commissioned. I think this is only the second black dog I have painted. I tinted the canvas blue and decided to make her highlights violetish/purplish. She has some white areas in her coat so those are not bright highlights. She is a beautiful dog and I bet the bethrothed are going to be thrilled with this gift. It is painted on an 8 x 8" gallery wrap canvas.I have been busy the last three days working on a 4 x 5' commissioned piece. Have never painted that large but it has been a good learning experience. If I get a good image of it I will post.sold
Loving your paint application. Looking forward to seeing the big one.
ReplyDeleteI always like your pet paintings but this one is so special. Rescue dogs do make the best models don't they? Great work as usual.
