I get a kick out of hearing dog's names. Not sure how Sampson got his. I will have to ask my cousin who commissioned this painting. I guess you have noticed that Sampson has a blue eye and a brown eye. Pretty cool. I felt like the slouched pose deserved an unusual 6 x 12" canvas shape. Sampson is so cute that my cousin could not decide between two pictures so he is having me paint both.
I will be in Nashville participating in a show this coming Friday through Sunday. The Brentwood Academy Fine Arts show. Lots of great artists and fun. 30% of the proceeds goes to the school. Come see me if you are in the area.sold
