“Violet,” 6x8, commissioned PAWS service dog portrait depicting a black lab, private collection (THANK YOU!!!)
It might seem cliché, but of course, Violet’s portrait had to be Violet. And it started out that way, but slid back into my familiar range of blues.
She does have a wonderfully pensive look about her though, one that I was afraid I might lose if I went back into the painting and tried to change things.
Violet was headed towards life as a service dog, and then got redirected. She now is a representative of PAWS, making public appearances, and generally serving as an advocate for the organization.
Did I say earlier this week what a privilege it is to work with a group like PAWS With a Cause? Please take a couple of minutes to view their site – http://www.pawswithacause.org/ – and learn more about their mission and how they achieve it.
Meanwhile, I need to thank a new collector (I’ll keep your name secret, since your painting is a gift!) for their purchase of a painting from my studio clean-up sale. You can view remaining available works at www.turtledovedesigns.com/studio_cleanup_sale.html, along with my regularly priced pieces at www.turtledovedesigns.com/available.html .
And I posted the wrong link to my class paintings. The correct link is http://www.ksantini.blogspot.com/. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
Thanks, as always, for looking.
And for sharing these paintings with your friends and family.
See you tomorrow,
Kim
