Wow,   I scheduled myself quite heavily last week........and I was tired.   So yesterday, Valentine`s Day, I went for lunch with my sweetheart, and gave myself a break.  I reposted `Buster` I painted him in January 2017 for that 30 in 30. 

I hope you all had a wonderful day.

"Boston" 

11x14

acrylic on canvas

 

Sarah Submitted Boston's photo to me quite a while ago.  I found it hard to photograph this painting with it's  dark background.  I'm sure there are some tips I could learn to do a better job taking pictures.Boston is a "rescue puppy" with some shepherd in him, for sure.   He just looks like the happiest guy around.  And so handsome. 

 

It was a pleasure to paint him.

Now, I am back to the studio to paint Day 8.

Tune in tomorrow!

30 Paintings in 30 Days, day 2

Day 2
I listened to a podcast about marketing, and they said to find your Niche Market.  So I thought, well, my Pet Portraits certainly appeal to dog Lovers, so I joined a couple Facebook groups, and posted some of my work.  I received lots of feedback and some orders.  When I decided to do the 30in30 for February, I posted a little video on one of the groups and the response was PHENOMENAL!!
I will be doing lots of shipping this month. 


This is Baxter.  He and his "Brother" love hiking in the mountains and playing in the snow!!

Ryu on Red

This is Ryu, a Rotwiller-Mastiff cross.

His owner bought a custom pet portrait package I donated to the SPCA.

They have two dogs, so this is the first handsome boy, Ryu. 

His pose reminds me of the famous painting,

 The Girl With the Pearl Earring, by Vermeer.(1632-1635)
