"Lou"

This is Lou! He is the quieter little brother of Kona whom i last posted. 

Unlike his rambunctious brother, Lou might be found laying poolside 

or lounging under a shade tree with Mom and Dad while Kona chases shadows. 

His Mom, wanted to surprise her husband with these paintings for 

their anniversary. I was most pleased to be included in their plans.

"Kona"

A commission for a lady who i know in the dog park nearby. 

This handsome fellow is often seen tearing around 

and just having the time of his life. Always! 

I hoped to capture his youthful attitude and fun nature. 

I did two for her and will post the other one shortly.

"Elvis's Pup"

A young lady i know commissioned me to do this for her boyfriend. 

His name is Elvis. 

So it is not really the Elvis you might have thought it was, 

but a different Elvis. 

I loved doing this one. The photo was not very good.

You could just make out a pair of boots in the snow, 

so i thought i would put in a pair of boots so the dog 

has something he is looking up at. 

These are actually the hiking boots i long for. 

Had a pair when i was much younger and they were the best.

"Cairo and Sophie"

Two new pup portraits for a family who lost them both within a month of one another. 

The first little guy is Cairo and the second one is Sophie. 

I had fun with the backgrounds once i figured out what it was i wanted there. 

Both are acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. 

24" X 30".  

"Pequito 2"

This is a new version of Pequito. I did not think the bedroom was quite in line with the pup on the first version. Sorry Vincent but i had to take some liberties with your beautiful work and jam up the colours a wee bit. I'm feeling much better about it now as there is a unity that was lacking in version 1.
Oh, but acrylic is just so much fun.
