This portrait was one of those that seemed meant to be. I was taking photos of a couple of other dogs, with plans to paint portraits, when a young boy asked me to come see the "dog out back". I went with him and shot a few photos. One of them just begged to be painted. I really like how this one is more than just a formal portrait composition. The dog was so happy to see the boy and it was so obvious in the photo. I think I managed to capture that in the painting, too, don't you?
Blitz is the last painting I finished before starting the 30 Paintings Challenge in January. Now we are traveling and I'm not painting, so it may be a few more weeks before I get back to the studio and my paints. (and my fingers are already getting itchy to paint again!)
Thanks for stopping by!!
