"Luke"

This is the second of the commissions i had donated to 

"Rescue A Boxer" from Vancouver as a fundraiser item. The family who won the bid 

wanted a portrait of their Luke. 

I've done a lot of Boxers and have gotten to know the breed quite well. 

With this one, i painted his eyes first so he could watch me work 

and keep me company. 

We became good companions as i felt his warm, gentle spirit. 

Watercolour, 12 X 16 on Arches 300 lb. CP paper. 

"Alexis & Ivan"

One more puppy before Christmas. 

This is a commission 12" X 14". Watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper.

It looks like they are having a wonderful time. 

I love the Boxer because they enjoy so much 

being with their people and playing. 

They actually think they are human. 

We won't tell them otherwise. :)
Shhhh!!

"Mali"

This is Mali. She is a recent commission from a lady who wanted to give Mali's owner, her sister, a special gift for Christmas. I very much enjoyed painting this beautiful pup and had a real a sense of her spirit as we worked. She is most likely a gentle sweet girl, I believe. When doing a dog commission, I like to paint the eyes first.
This way, Mali could participate in the process and keep me company as we worked.
I love my job. :)
This is watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper. 19" X 27". 

"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" .
