I took the painting down to Shiloh’s folks and they loved it so now I’ll get it framed and take it down to them. We are using a white on white mat to pull out the white of his fur with a dark frame. I am thrilled they are so happy with him!
And now while I’m in the dog painting mode, I’m starting work on a painting for my sister in law of her sweet golden retriever Murphy who is no longer with us. here’s the initial sketch of him:
In related news I have the opportunity of putting pet paintings down at the Crossroads Animal Hospital which I’m very excited about. I’ll frame prints of Tulie (below) and Shiloh and perhaps some others and include information on doing commissions and how to get in touch with me. I am quite thankful for this opportunity.
That’s it for now! more soon as I intend on blogging daily in March.
Love the final on Shiloh and know that the labrador will be so nice. Keep on expanding into the pet portrait area. It’s a great opportunity for painting with heart!
