RAZ 2 in progress, and some relief!


























16x20" oil on canvas in progress

Posting this so just I can get little suz out from under the bed. The less said about that self-portrait the better. And wouldn't you know it, the contrarian really likes the damn thing. Figures.

Happy weekend and thanks for stopping by!

    Pugs are so very paintable - at least in your hands! This is wonderful.

    And the self portrait is lovely. Unique and always a learning experience to do them isn't it?

    What is not to love about that beautiful self-portrait? I'm with the contrarian. And your pug portraits are absolutely amazing, Suz. So beautiful!

    I'm with Diane - I like the colours in the cushion too because it adds even more interest to an already brilliant painting :0)

    I love this, and especially love all the great textures! Great work on the self portrait also, the toughest thing to paint!

    Hi Suzanne,

    Love the lighting in your painting. The textures and colors make this adorable little pug stand out. What a face!!

    Can't get enough of those pug paintings. I'm starting to think if I want to be a real bon-a-fide artist I'm going to have to get a pug. Does my bull mastiff count? He looks a little like a really large pug:) You do incredible work and I am always in awe of your skills. Also love, love, love your self portrait. So much character in that painting and I'm glad the contrarian approves. Such a great composition!

    Love all your pugs and how you are able to make perfect sense of their delightful series of wrinkles! That self-portrait's not half bad either!

    I can't get enough of your adorable puggies! What a beautiful job you've done here. So Regal!

    The dreaded SP...I think you did a fabulous job. I will have to remember that clever hat trick!
