"SWEETY"

"CALLAHAN"

Next came Callahan. She was adopted at 14 months after spending her entire life in a crate. She has been the sweetest dog in the world. She lives to play fetch and swim in the river/pool. She is a stunningly beautiful dog, inside and out. She is 7 years old.

"SADIE - NELLIE'S SISTER"

Sadie is a 6 year kid Labrador/greyhound mutt we adopted from the humane society around 5 years ago. At the time we had a miniature dachshund and Sadie quickly became the submissive one in the relationship, despite her 40lb advantage! Sadie loves playing fetch (although she has not mastered bringing the ball back...) and loves running up and down our dock. She is a HUGE lap dog (we don't think she knows her size) and readily climbs into your lap to take a nap. Her favorite treat is lettuce and she runs from bed (usually my bed) to the kitchen whenever she hears salads being made!

The dogs are considered family members and very spoiled! 

They are very loved!!

So - I couldn't decide which pose I liked better so I painted 2. The client(boy does that sound important)

chose the first portrait. I still like them both. I love to paint and I'm so lucky I get to do what I love!

Thanks for following! 

"BRECK"

INTERESTED 

I was taking pictures of Yogi Bear and Breck kept posing for me. He seemed to be interested in all the happenings. I can't tell you how excited I was to paint a white dog. It was liberating. 

Thanks for following! 

"YOGI BEAR"

SWEETEST SOUL EVER - KIND - LOVING - PLAYFUL

I'm so glad I met Yogi Bear. His owner told me that his eyes were a piercing amber color - I have never seen eyes that round and that bright - I worked on Yogi's eyes for 2 days - no kidding! I hope I got it somewhat close. What a great dog.

Also wanted to inform everyone my internet was out hence no blog. Sorry but that's technology for ya!

Hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for following. 

"SUMMIT"

SWEET AND CUDDLY 

Summit was rescued from the Boulder Humane Society and has found his 

perfect - lovable forever home! He's a lucky dog!!!

"KENAI"

SUPER SWEET

This lucky dog has found his forever home - after he fell off a truck at 8 weeks old and got run over. His owner never noticed and didn't stop. Kenai was at the vet for a month! 

The stories coming in for this portrait project are important reminders to celebrate these wonderful animals and their forever homes. 

Thanks for letting me be a part of this great experience.
