30 paintings in 30 Days. Day 14

Day 14. January 14th. 

Today's painting is of a handsome pup named "Ricky".  

   I used to work with Ron in my "other life" when I worked in banking.  He and his lovely wife Christine, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.  Christine sent me a couple photos of Ricky , their " Granddog " to use in my 30 in 30 challenge. I noticed in the background of the photo, the decor of the room was what I would consider, Shabby Chic.  A white slipcovered wing chair, a a carpet with pink roses on it. So I decided to use  a loose rose background for Ricky's portrait. I also created a time lapse video of a portion of the painting and posted it on my Instagram page and my Facebook page. The link to my Facebook is on the sidebar here.

Today's portrait is of a handsome Stafordshire Bull Terrier named Buster.  I think is names suits him very well, don't you?   Busters mom is a wonderful filmmaker and photographer.  Thank you for sharing Buster with me, Brittany.

The photo inspiration for today's painting was sent to me by Tary.  She told me that this was Harley, possibly the worlds best granddog.  I was tickled pink by the photo, and I was inspired to create the background to look like the icing on a cupcake.

I didn't post a painting yesterday, I worked all day on a commission and I'm not totally sure it's finished.  Today's painting is one that I reworked a couple times, and I'm quite happy with it now. 

This painting has been dark purple, light purple and now back to dark purple. I tried to edit the photo so that it looked more purple than blue, but there it is.  Angel wings on purple
