Princess Belle

This is a pastel painting of my sister's much beloved dog, Belle, who recently passed. Belle was a loving and beautiful rescue dog who brought many long years of happiness. The painting was inspired by a photograph taken this past Christmas; in the photo, Belle has a lovely princess sparkly crown on and she is in front of the family Christmas tree which is pictured abstractly in the background of the painting. I am gifting this picture to my sister for her birthday later this month.

Jack Too!

Here is a painting of our precious wire-haired fox terrier, Jack. The vet refers to him as Jack Too as our last dog, a sweetheart Boston terrier, was also named Jack. Jack Too came to us as a 7 year old dog with the same name as our previous dog and we didn't have the heart to try to change a 7 year old dog to a new name!

Jack is fresh from the groomer with a saucy red bandana around his neck. This was painted on Arches paper. I preserved a lot of white to accent Jack's eyes and beard. He is a lovely oatmeal colored dog with apricot and grey patches.
