Dog Paintings, painted for my daughter-in-laws sister.
Sorry about the really poor photos lately. I need to work on my photography skills. It seems that all of my photos lately have had a blue cast. My new year's resolution will be to work on that!
Love your dog paintings! You posted a comment on my blog, but blogger I accidentally hit delete instead of publish, so now I can't publish it on my blog. So thanks for the comment, and yes, I gesso on watercolor paper, Arches cold press. You can gesso a rough texture or a smoother one depending on how you brush it on.
These two are just fabulous. Something different from your florals but equally interesting. The style just as fresh. And yes, wish you a Very Happy New Year.

Oh, close-ups of the doggies are the best! Your daughter-in-law's sister must have loved them!
Your dog paintings rock! I like the composition of each of them.
These two are just fabulous. Something different from your florals but equally interesting. The style just as fresh. And yes, wish you a Very Happy New Year.
