This is my dog Gracie, my friend Marisa took this photo when she was visiting the island. The background was of our wood floor but I decided to add some punch since Gracie is such a fan of the outdoors. I am still find it surprising that you can fit so much onto such a small canvas.
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.
