Brindle Boxer

Just to help fill out my breeds list. This is a classic commission of a great little boxer for a long lost friend.

Shelty in Profile - A Rescue.

This is another volunteer photo from the Sheltie Rescue group. These are the 50/50 pieces still $85, still half to the rescue (hey, I can cut a deal with anyone who puts the money or time toward a rescue of 20% discount for you or donation to the shelter if you tell me where to send it!)

Trotting Terrier...something....

This little terrier mix that I painted before was on the trail of a ball and I got him just set to go. Man, sometimes I get tired just watching them in the park.

Worried Yorkie

A little friend of a friend, just was having a stressful day!

Darla, the Rescue Chihuahua

They got me! I have succumbed to being a spokespainter for the Chihuahua Rescue! $90 and half of it goes right to the charity:

The Golden Greyhound

This and the greyhound I posted a week or so ago, are from a day spent at the Renaissance Faire. The dogs were representatives of a rescue group and were in the spirit of the day. This one was just glowing inside a tent.

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"

Chloe's First Portrait.

I was room mates with this little Min-Pin a few years ago. She has a pretty white smile now, but this was my FIRST impression of her in Pastel.

Glamour Dog

I saw this beauty at a charity event earlier this year. Dressed to the 9's and looking good! No breed in particular - pure glamor.

Westie Profile

Not as easy to do the minis, so a bit larger in pastel.

8x6" pastel. These are $120. Not going to be able to get those tiny brush strokes....

Aussie Terrier This Time!

I bet you thought all those Australian dogs did was herd cattle and sheep. NOPE. This is a good old terrier who loves to dig in the dirt. Well, maybe not THIS one:

Weiner Dog Mascot

Don't tell me the internet is not a real live community!
This dog was a photo provided by a friend who lives in Australia. I did the picture which was seen by a group in California, who wanted not only to buy it, but make it poster for the "Weiner Dog Races" inthe Dogtoberfest of Atascadero!

My friend and I got T-shirts!!

McDuff

This is a request for an oldie but a goodie!

The lovely little Dachshund Grendel from earlier this year is a roommate of the noble McDuff. An Irish Wolf Hound. The comment is usually "what a long tongue!". In the scale of the dog, it is just about right!

Pastel Wire Fox Terrier

Branching out, I am in a bit of a pastel mood. This is a larger piece, 8x10" which I sell for $200. I think this one has a very nostalgic feeling!

Soulful Beard

Just a face that has been haunting me for a while.

A little Bearded Dachshund.

Born to Run

I got this blur of a greyhound at full out stretch and never could do justice to the photo. I am going to try a few more immediate sketches using watercolor and pen and ink to see if I can loosen up a bit and still get the impression of the dog... be kind, this is my first try:

AND THANK YOU ALL! I HAVE OVER 50 FOLLOWERS NOW!

A Flash of Brindle

More of my runners.  This great looking coat just flashed past me at the park.  All I could make out was the bright glow of the green ball.

Maltese Pup

Not all the well groomed well behaved dogs at the show are all grown up!  This pup was about as good as a doggy could be, just waiting to get his well earned praise!

A Jack of Hearts

One of those looks to die for.

Pushing My Envelope

Did I tell you all that I was a portrait painter? Well, I have not really been busy MAKING portraits but I am into humans a bit much. So I don't slack, my latest adventure in pastels has a dog...
