3 Pitties and a Pal

All the families  most beloved furry kids.  Keepsakes for years.

Two Bullie Buddies

I took this photo last year and I have thought and thought about how to paint it. I needed a subject for my second State Fair demo in watercolor and pulled out a 16x12" piece of watercolor and did this tonight as my demo. There may be a bit more detailing, but really, I am very happy with it as is!

Zeppy's Oil

My doggie muse, Zeppelin. I needed a nice representative oil painting so he was the first I thought of! Available for purchase. 11x14"

Bulldog with a Ball

I like Bull Dogs. They are capable of taking a leg off, but have sort of nuclear deterrent attitude: Because I CAN do do not have to! Like walking foot stools, they have always seemed very expressive and communicative to me..

This one has a ball!

Colorful Bulldog

This is an older demonstration of my pastel over watercolor.  Most of these samples have been double dogs, but here is a lovely gal, all by herself.

Second Diamond

This little Bulldog was a little bit tricky. The new technique is a lot about using white for details. I painted myself into a corner using a white dog... but I think I painted out. Also on a deep wrapped 5x5"

Tank

A birthday commission.  Quite a task!  I got a photo of the dog and a photo of the t-shirt and we got him all dressed up between my computer and my pencil.  Shhhhh... the birthday is TODAY so here is a preview:

I think the Christmas spirit is coming!

Today I was in the park and was shooting some more sample dogs, but it worked out that curiosity was almost as potent as the paintings. I have two who were excited about the price and although I didn't get a deposit, I think this may be a sale.
I will put red dots on the commissions and sold pieces.
This little guy is named PUMA.
