"Tega"


I had donated a pet portrait to "Boxer Rescue Canada" for their Fall auction fundraiser and the winning bidder receives a portrait of their beloved dog. This boy belonged to the lady who won the auction. He is a pure bread male Boxer named Tega. Sadly he is no longer with us. This is watercolour on 300 lb. Arches C/P paper approximately 18" X 22" .

    1. Thanks Lorraine. Yes, they can be fearsome for sure but the sweetest breed ever when it comes to loyalty and trustworthiness. They love children too. We have two of them! :)

  2. The look in his eyes is enough to replace any words that might describe this portrait, he will remain ever live for the person that owned him.

    1. Thank you Padmaja. I always try to do the eyes first. This way they can guide me the rest of the way. I love doing these.

    1. I'm always a bit fearful when doing a commission. The presentation of the finished piece is when i hold my breath the longest and wait for the reaction. A bit stressful but so far so good!

    1. Hi Pat. One is never sure, are they? I am always fearful when a commission is complete and the presentation is about to happen. Scary stuff. Your approval is of great value to me. See, I'm a fan. :)
