Acrylic on 8x10 hardboard.You folks may remember my neighbor, Jack, who had me paint three pet portraits of his doggies.
Well, his daughter-in-law said she would like a painting of her long haired daschund named Digger. So her hubbie commissioned me to paint up a surprise for her.
I heard that she was very happy with it...Whew! That's the best part of painting...to know that what you do is capable of bringing a bit of joy to someone.

well of course she is happy with it...it is great! beautiful expression and the light on the fur is amazing! great job!
ReplyDeleteIs that not the truth Dean. Acceptance of a commision. It is just about always like having teeth pulled and rarely do we have a commission turned down. but I too am always so relieved when it is done and payment made.
ReplyDeleteHave a great New Year my friend.
Wonderful portrait of Digger, Dean. Beautiful expression on this little guy. Love the background as well.
ReplyDeleteDean, Digger is a delight, indeed. I can imagine that her owner is very happy with this thoughtful gift from her husband.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with all your latest work. "Father and Son" is very interested in that limited pallette. I appreciated your explanation of the process for over the river.
I've been a watercolor painter, but I am now tackling some acrylics after finding I am allergic to oil paints, or perhaps the mediums used with them. I am curious ow you decide when to use oil or acrylic in your work?
Thanks for visiting my blog and encouraging me with my pastels. I had a lovely blessed Christmas and hope you had the same.
Darn Deano! Darn dandy job on Digger! Love the eyes especially. [sorry ran out of D-words]
ReplyDeleteI can see why the gift was liked. This is a delightful painting and they eyes speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteYour painting of Digger is sweet.
