Shadow

I have had a rash of Giant Schnauzers these days.  One of a trio.

Bella's Bubbles

One of my favorite rescue groups is for Giant Schnauzers.  This is one of their happy celebrants!  A great Christmas gift to deliver this weekend.

A Perfect Dog

I admit it.  I forgot her name.  This is a little friend of a commission I did last year.  I had the opportunity to demonstrate and this photo jumped out at me.

Mia, a Mighty Mini

Shhhhh..... It is a Christmas Gift but Daddy doesn't play much on the computer!

Schultz, a memorial

For one of my best clients, a great dog who is very missed.

Jackson

A great little Shih. Smiling and life is good. Might be a perfect Father's Day gift. Got it last night and ready today!

6x8" watercolor in mat.

A Shiba Inu

Never saw markings like this! At first I thought a husky until I was told the size and looked closer. Pretty nifty guy!

Gertie

I hope I helped. This is a great little memorial of a very noble mini schnauzer who died a year ago Good Friday. She was a very special girl. Her mom misses her a lot.

Leah

This Persian princes was a gift from a group of friends to ease the loss.

Mareo

The second of the new kids in the home

Enzo

A few years ago I did 6 contemporary portraits of a family's dogs. All but one were just memories so the owners decided it was time enlarge the album and add the two newest members to the family wall. These are 18" wrapped canvas oil paintings

Ms Liberty (again)

Sometimes a dog needs a lot of love. I have painted Libby a couple of times. More human, less undaunted... are dogs human?

Granite

As you can see from the well loved face, Granite had been very loved and will be very missed. 

Holly

After a good cry, I delivered this to a client. Holly left the world a week or so before her picture came to replace her in her very loving friend's home.

Libby

A beautiful great GSD.

Third Pup, Traveling.

The older of the poodles was a real challenge. Whitest dog ever! Hope they like them when they arrive, which should be some time tonight while I sleep!

Golden Lab. Number Two in the Trio.

This beautiful boy is the second of the three pictures heading for homes in Bankok!

A Trio Going Abroad!

I just finished three gifts for a client who is taking all three of my next puppies on a trip to Thailand! After things dried out from the flood, they are bound for happy homes (hopefully drier!) The first poodle puppy:

Maxwell

Another Christmas commission, ready to show in the big world.
Max has white eyelashes, which are perfect for a 15 year old, and fur like cotton candy. Spunky but just a little creaky, this old guy is a workin' dog and great friend to his family.

Peppy

This is a special gift for a good friend. It is pastel pencil on tinted watercolor paper. Started as a black and white charcoal, but I couldn't help getting these amazing tones in.
