This weekend I braved the pouring rain to travel down to the
Gold Coast to deliver two portraits. These are very special portraits as they
were a gift for some good friends. Dakota and Belle now take pride of place on
the wall in their home.

I did so enjoy taking the photographs and then painting
these portraits. Dakota, in particular, was a challenge as he is so dark and it
was hard to see sufficient contrast.
Visiting the two dogs (and their owners) this weekend, I am happy that I
managed to capture something of their unique personalities.

Carol, I love these...both dog has a distinct personality...I'm sure the new owner of your work is thrilled.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - they are so different. Dakota is a gentleman, but definitely in charge.Belle is quite needy and follows you around like a shadow. She'd love to be top dog but that's not going to happen !
DeleteWhat noble faces!
