A True Love of Pups...


"Bailey," 5"x7", oil on canvas panel
(SOLD,thank you!)

I just thought I'd mention, in case you weren't aware, that I have a real love of painting pups, hence my other blog: Painting a Pup a Day (more like every few days, but you get the picture...) this week I've painted a couple of Australian Cattle Dogs and can I just say I love, love, love their fur! It has so many nuances of color, a true joy to paint for any artist! If you are interested in having your precious pup painted, or are interested in having one done as a gift to someone special, feel free to contact me!I donate 10% of each portrait to one of the many dog rescue groups I currently work with.

    Thanks :o)I've always loved dogs, I grew up with dogs and being a rather shy child, I always felt a strong bond with them...you can see our 2 current knuckleheads at www.aussiedogsupandover.blogspot.com
