"Tobey, Mighty Mite!"

6"x6"

Oil on Cradled Board

NFS

Yesterday, our dog Tobey and I went for a walk along one of the river trails here in Bend, home of an absolutely GREAT parks and rec department.  I took a photo of him after he had scrambled up onto a boulder and this is the resulting paintng.  I love working with backlit subjects and I used black gesso on the board.  Nice to work on!  I couldn't possibly think of doing anything with this painting other than giving it to my husband!

By the way, I am available for commissions for your pet's portrait!

I've painted this little guy, Scout, once before as he was racing some other doxies. He's a handsome guy! And it is just starting to cool off here enough to remember how good it feels to sit in the sun and let that heat sink into your skin!
