"Frenchies," 8" x 10", acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord, commissioned portrait of two French Bulldogs, a work in process. Want to commission a portrait of your own? inquiries (sketches starting at $29, paintings at $209) may always come to me.
This painting turned out even better than it looked inside my head. It doesn't always happen this way, but I am delighted with the color, loose modelling, and expression on Pierre and Claude's faces.
I did create the process on video, however there was one 1/2 hour segment near the end where I neglected to turn the camera on after a potato chip break. I'll get the video edited and up onto the blogasap.
And yes I'm going to ask one more time before the weekend: please vote 5 gold stars for Painting a Dog a Day - we remain in 2nd place by about 40 votes: http://www.dailypainters.com/blog/contest
You are invited to share the link with your friends and family and encourage them to do the same. One of my girlfriends posted the link on her facebook page and offered to buy a cocktail for everyone who voted for me - I love her creative thinking!
Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork and musings with your friends and family. Have a great weekend,
Kim
