Paintings With Soul

    "Billmurray," 4" square, a commissioned dog tag painting, acrylic on museum quality panel, private collection (THANK YOU!).  Let me know  if you want one of these done up custom with your dog's name.     And yes, I will be doing a mess of green tags for St Patty's Day, so stay tuned! It'll probably be the tail end of next week or early the following.   Don't forget the current auction going on over on  Facebook  - eight older paintings are looking for new homes.

In reality Mona was about 2 lbs at the time - in this particular portrait, her head alone measures 5" - there's quite a difference in scale!   Fondly, Kim, who's already a c...
