My last dog commission before Christmas! Painting so consistently this last week has proved to me how helpful it is to paint almost every day. So much easier to stay confident. I have enjoyed painting every one of these dogs and I hope all of the receivers of these gifts will be happy.Kane belongs to one of my best friend's sons. This is painted on an 8 x 10" gallery wrap.
More news....This is going to be a crazy year because we have bought a lot and are building a house......with a STUDIO! Hope it will be finished this time next year. It is my dream lot because it is in the woods and on a beautiful creek. Same suburban area that I live in now. I look forward to having a place to teach once all is settled. I will have lots to juggle this year but will work hard to fit painting in.
Carol, I think this is my favorite of your doggies!! Love the beautiful blues with the complimentary oranges— just yummy!! Congrats on building a new home with a studio !!! You will have so much fun designing your work space. I see a new blog starting. :)
