Doggy Paintings

 


3 dogs are better than one ...

Right?  Friends of mine comissioned me to do portraits of their dogs - the one they keep now and the ones who have already passed away. Like a little family pet gallery for the house -  fun project which i had never done before. These 3 characters are no "fancy" dogs like the puggies in the post below, but mixed breeds, one of them being picked up on a beach in portugal.  Below, you see a photo of Mina, the middle dog. Wich one of these is your favorite?

    Oh this dog is soooooooo CUTE!!!!! Oh Martina! Dear heart, you are still not feeling yourself? Well, I am much better, but I think that now I have allergies! AND my eyes are giving me problems. My eyelids are red and puffy and itchy, but my eyelashes are falling out!!!!!!!!! I must go to the doctor for this.

    I am feeling energetic, but anxious to finish this school year. Though it has been a mildly warm winter, it has been exhausting and full of sickness. I wish you SPEEDY RECOVERY and many many days of bright sunshine and ART !!! YOU ARE SOOOO GOOD!

    HUGS MY DEAR FRIEND! Anita
