Painting a Dog a Day by Kimberly Kelly Santini

"Cosmo (Pug)," 6" square, commissioned Pug portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, private collection (thank you and welcome to the newest Dog a Day collector!). Inquiries may always come to me.

Cosmo lives on in his family's hearts and this painting will be sure to trigger many memories.

I also think it is, hands down, one of my best ever. It is a great example of what you shouldn't do (his nose is smack dab in the center of the canvas and the composition is a perfect "X"), yet for some unknown reason it just works.

Must be Cosmo's magnetism.

Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork with your friends and family.
