In fact the original Bailey was already there- it was his portrait that had to cover the miles, hitching a ride with some good friends , arriving safe and sound . Here he is on the wall with the beautiful muse in attendance! Thank you , Emma for sharing this fab photo!.
Work in progress - Coonhound Mix Coda
This small oil is painted from a photo reference kindly supplied by permission of Karen Broemmelsick. I love this dog's expressive eyes. This is the third time I have painted a portrait of Coda. I have a little work to do on the feet, which I will leave slightly deconstructed so as the keep the main focus on her eyes.
Dog Portraits for Christmas - All safely delivered
This week and last, I have been getting Christmas orders for dog portraits packed up and off to their new homes.
I have had a lovely selection of beautiful dogs to paint!
This is a portrait of Gilbert, a handsome Border Terrier. And a very good boy, by the look of him .
This little lady is Lola, a young and lovely Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Poodle)
Here are a couple of the oil paintings that went to new homes this Christmas. Gilbert the Border Terrier was painted on a stretched canvas 40cm x 25cm. Lola the Cavapoo was also painted in oils, on a canvas panel 25 x 30cm
