Not the best photo yet, nor is the painting quite finished, but in the interest of making my February blog deadline, here it is.
11×14 inches, oil on canvas.
These are the sweetist dogs, rescues both. My fellow artists and dear
friends are the owners. I was a bit nervous at the start because they are
both artists – RISDI grads- so I felt the need to really ‘up’ my game.
They are thrilled with the outcome. I’m really the one who’s thrilled.
Here’s what they said:
Per: Bow-WOW

Ana:

Dale Holman

You have caught the essence of these two wonderful pooches! You have such a special gift when you paint dogs
thanks Rob, your kind words really mean a lot. I think the fact that I am so in love with dogs makes a HUGE difference.
Linda, my friend, you are SO talented, and I especially love your paintings of dogs. Soon I would love to have you paint my French Bulldog, Ivy, and I since she is aging, and I would love to have a portrait to remember her by. Your canine art is marvelous!
thank you so much for your wonderful thoughts, Deb.
It would be so fun to memorialize your Frenchie in paint!
