As promised in my previous post, this is the other sewing project that I had been working on. The sewing for this piece took one session. Painting, however, took several subsequent sessions! It turned out quirky looking, which was my hope. My parents have always had Boston Terriers and it is such a funny, sweet, silly, little breed. This dog and the fairy princess doll are both off to the Iowa State Fairgrounds today... each toy is hoping for a pretty ribbon!

A Pet Portrait: Scout

{oil on canvas, 2009}

I just finished this little 4"x4" portrait of my parents' Boston Terrier, Scout. He has quite a lot of personality, so it was important that I catch a little gleam of impishness in his eye! I will be giving it to my dad for Christmas, but its really for both of my parents. If you are interested in a mini oil painting pet portrait please e-mail me at candartist@aol.com. 4"x4" pet portraits are $50 and I just need a few pictures of your pet to choose from and a few weeks to get it done and in the mail!

Digital Sketch

Just a digital sketch of my favorite kind of dog, the Boston Terrier. My parents have one right now named Scout, and this digital sketch pretty much sums up his little character!
