Meet Churchill, an especially endearing malamute who excels at sneaking food off countertops and letting himself out. Now, if he could just learn to close the door behind himself….

In this painting, I blocked in the basic shapes and then blended the wet paint with a drybrush. I built several layers of translucent glaze up this way, finally going in overtop with the sharper edges of his eyes, which also carry the densest spots of color.

“Churchill,” 6x8, acrylic on canvasboard. SOLD.

Thanks, as always, for looking.
And for sharing these paintings with friends and family.
