BARNEY























12x12" oil on canvas
SOLD

This is a commission that my busy recent past delayed. I'm catching up and even though I can hear the whistle, I'm bettin that light at the end of the tunnel is not another train. Kidding. I'm actually enjoying myself.

    Hi Suzanne,

    Glad you are enjoying yourself and that you have taken back your life a bit... sounds like puppies are a lot like kids!

    This is so well done. Love the sheen on his coat. He looks well taken care of and I'm sure your clients were blown away.

    Just love your dog portraits! They have so much personality. I like the way you have adjusted the treatment of the paintings to match the personalities...strong strokes and vivid colors on the playful ones and the soft luxurious coat for this innocent, sweet face. All are beautifully painted!

    So glad to hear Raz is rounding the corner and nearly well!
