On Saturday 26 August, it is National Dog Day – celebrating our canine friends all over the world. With that in mind, here is a collection of a few of my paintings of pooches who are awaiting their forever homes… or walls! A mixture of breeds and all lovely characters who make, or have made, our lives just that bit more fun.
This is the latest addition to my stock of artwork for sale at the Garrion Bridges Art & Antiques Centre. “Olive”, the deerhound has featured on this blog before and her pastel painting is now waiting for a new owner. I decided to pop this pastel onto a pre-cut mount, rather than having it framed, to give the buyer the opportunity to select their own frame, so we’ll see if this proves a good idea or not. If so, I’ll try a few more – back to the drawing board….literally! 🤓
This is the second ‘Mungo’ commission I have painted this year, the other being a feline variety. He is a Jolly, ie. a Jack Russell & Collie cross and is very sweet, as is Mungo the ginger Tom, although I’m not sure how sweet they would be facing each other!
This is the most recent commission which has been delivered to the client today. Rocco (a Cockerpoo and total rockstar, sadly no longer with us) was a complete joy to paint and I hope his owners will like this memory of him. #cockerpoo #dogportrait
