From one extreme to the other. Yesterday’s dog was an old faithful companion, and today’s is just a little sprite of a thing. I am preparing to paint a lifesize portrait of this bundle of fur, and in the process have done several sketches and dog-a-days (see February 27th’s dog). I’ve determined my palette, and now it’s just a matter of nailing down an expression (each puppy face is so darned tender, that’s not a simple task!). “English Shepherd Study II (Cheerio),” 4x5, dog portrait on canvasboard, $50. As with the other painting of Cheerio, I will hold onto this piece for reference until the larger portrait is done, but I will start a list, should anyone be interested. Inquiries can always come to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . SOLD. Thanks, as always, for looking. And for sharing these paintings with your friends and family.
