Rosine

I started on a portrait commission of a lovely mare yesterday and I feel it is coming along well so far. This was a very loved horse but the owner lost her recently and a good friend of his asked if I would do this for him. Of course I said yes so here is the start. I will try to post works in progress as I go along.
This is Rosine.

Buddy, Radar, Tucker

My painting class bagged out on me today so I did another post card instead.
This is Buddy, Radar, and Tucker. All three are Jack Russel Terriers. Jacks are very active and obsessive compulsive dogs. Once they decide on something, no amount of trying to change their mind is going to work!

Buddy

This one is Buddy. Although I have only had him once, I feel I have captured his look even if I haven't captured his personality. It takes a couple of times to shine through. He is a lovely sweet dog though, a beagle and I look forward to having him again.

Beau

This is Beau. He is a rescue like many of my dogs are. He has been coming for about two years now and at first was very wary and had a permanent scowl on his face. His markings are part of it, they are very unusual and make him look mad most of the time but now after all this time, he has become trusting and sweet. He is one of my favorites, well shoot, most of them are favorites!! He is a papillon mix and full of energy. Just look at that smile! No more frown for Beau!

Blue

This is Blue, an Australian Shepherd. He is a beautiful dog and his eyes are spectacular.

Trotter

This one is Trotter. He is a very high energy little guy but very sweet and playful. His owner is 88 years old and I have no idea how she handles him but she loves him and he adores her so that is all that matters. He gets all the dogs running around and around in the play yard until they are all just a blur.

Princess and Dutchess

I don't usually take cats but the black and white one (Princess) has been coming for about three years, she started as a kitten and this year she got her own kitten, Dutchess. They are very nice kitties and don't offer to scratch or bite me like some of them do!
