"Deuce"

acrylic on canvas
 
Rolanda sent me a couple photos of their Schnauzer, Deuce.  Some where he was freshly groomed, but I loved the picture of him when his hair was a little longer.  I started with a teal background, then decided to make it dark...and I'm happy with the way it turned out.
I've known Rolanda her whole life, and I am honored to create another painting for her Art Collection.

Day 3 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

This is my third nest egg painting.  Why?  Well, I've been teaching nest classes, and I tend to get my painting to a certain stage, so my students can follow along, then I help and advise them, without finishing mine.  So, I have taken some unfinished ones, and really messed with them.  This one started out with a yellow ochre background, and the eggs were bright turquoise.   I am loving the purple!  
We are at our cabin at Murphy Lake right now.  So I painted between visits with my parents, our neighbours, and enjoying the view.  
My mom was excited when I pointed out the my painting matched her outfit.
