"Gus and Darlin," 9" x 12", commissioned double portrait of a Basset Hound and a Black Lab, done in acrylics on a museum quality panel, private collection (THANK YOU!!).

Lots of in-process photos are on the studio Facebook page.
Including pics of my special studio visitor today.
Enjoy your weekend!
