German Shepherd Pastel

That dog of dogs, the German shepherd. I love this breed. I lived with them for over 20 years, and am currently without. Life is not the same!

This is pastel, approximately 9 x 12". This was a Christmas commission.

Can you believe I thought of this painting over a year ago and only now have had the time to bring it to fruition? I will need to get a better photo once we get some sun here in Michigan, but overall I am really excited with how this piece turned out! I will be putting this up for auction Sunday night around 9pm EST. Hopefully the right collector or Scottie dog lover will appreciate all the time and detail that went into this piece! 

Keeshonden

These lovely dogs were quite a pair. They belong to a friend of mine, Laurie, who also has Morgans. She wasn't sure about this photo as something to work from, but I just loved it. It is very natural and so unlike the "posed" photos so often used.

This is pastel, conte and oil pencil, 11 x 15", on black charcoal paper.

German Shepherd and Westie in Watercolor

This is Dutchess and Becky, owned by a good friend Debbie Hendrickson in Ohio. Debbie and I had discussed this "morning glory" painting for a couple of years. Finally this year Dutchess's seventh birthday rolled around, and we decided to go for it! This is about 12 x 15" on a watercolor block.

(SOLD THANK YOU!!)

It's been awhile since I've done a vintage inspired dog portrait, so I decided to paint one this past week. I decided on a Westie as I find them so fun to paint, and with a name like 'Baron von Gizmo II' how could I resist?! This piece may already be spoken for, but if not, it will become available in the next couple of days. Keep in mind only 11 weeks remain until the holidays!;)
