I was sitting on the couch yesterday and Gracie just kept gazing at me, I finally took her picture and had to paint her again today. I usually leave the background quite simple but decided to add our persian rug. Really loose strokes and limited palette.

This is my girl Gracie, she has been one of my best subjects. The older she gets the more character she has, Gracie is everyones dog.  I painted this with very messy strokes and at first wasn't sure about it, after stepping away for awhile I am very pleased with the outcome.

WHO'S PRETTY?

This is my Gracie, she is a rescue dog who has been with us since she was one, she is almost 12 and still runs in the bush for miles most days with my husband and our other rescue dog Charlie.  I took this photo a few days ago and was asked by my husband to paint her so he could hang the painting in his office.  It was such a treat to paint  because the entire time I kept thinking of how very sweet she is and what a wonderful addition to our family she is.

Was it something I did?

This is my dog Gracie who I have painted many times.  She has the most lovely personality,  she will place her paw ever so gently on you if she wants attention.  This is the expression that is always on her face.

This was another dog day.  This is Abby, I have painted her before.  Her face is so full of expression.  On this painting I slowed down a little and was more careful where I placed my brush strokes.

Lately I have been fixated on painting black dogs.  I find it more appealing if the dog is a senior, all that grey hair gives them so much character.
