I met this guy yesterday at the dog park.  He was so handsome!  I was impressed by the dignified and noble way he carried himself.  Animals seem to be able to carry that off so well without being self-conscious about it!!!

"Little Upstart!" (sold)

6"x8"

Oil on Cradled Panel (see photo below)

I call this painting "upstart" because it is of Molly (on the right) who has been an "only dog" for close to a couple of years before the puppy, Huck (on the left),  invaded her perfect life this winter.  The good news is that now BOTH dogs have a perfect life!  Like yesterday's post, these are a couple of regulars at the dog park we often visit.

The painting is on a cradled panel as shown below and does not need framing, though it can be framed.

I played hookie this afternoon and went for a hike enjoying our first real day of warm spring weather--so in keeping with yesterday's post is another painting of some dogs I know.  There's Mazzerati and Ace and Tobey in the background.

"Bichon Playing" (sold)

8"x10"

Alkyd Oil on Panel

$250 includes domestic s/h

(sold)

I think the word "happy" could be defined by the image of a bichon running!  I'll never forget the first time our first bichon, Murphy, started doing the "bichon buzz" around our house--so low to the ground, ears and tail flying--it was the funniest thing I'd seen!  I can't imagine ever getting tired of seeing such joy in action.  This little pup is named Kit.

"Little Westie" (sold)

6"x6"

Oil on 3/4" cradled panel (doesn't need framing)

There was a beautiful little painting by Debbie Miller in today's Daily Painter Gallery (www.dailypainter.com) of a dog that inspired me to do another dog painting today myself!  This little guy is a Westie puppy that comes to play at the dog park in the summer.  He's about a year and a half old and full of life!

"Dalmation With a Red Leash" (sold)

8"x6"

Oil on Cradled Panel (no frame needed)

I have wanted to paint this guy for quite some time, but haven't because I would get so sad looking at my photo!  I would just think how forlorn he felt to me, waiting for his person to come back.  Now of course I don't know if the dog was going through that at all!  Today, though, the image just felt right to work with.  I painted it on a 3/4 inch cradled board so it can be framed or not.  It is shown below hanging as is on a wall.  This painting was an interesting study in grays, going from mixing them with quinacridone red and pthalo green to ultramarine blue and cad yellow deep, to ultramarine blue and cad red light and then cad red medium.
