In honor of todays milestone of my 200th daily painting, I could think of nothing I'd rather paint than my rat terrier Cloud, the dog of my heart. My muse. My joy. My best little friend. I can't even convey in words how much he means to me, and how beautiful I think he is. I hope you can see and feel in this painting just how much I adore this little dog.
The love shines through his expressive eyes. Do you paint him from life or photos or both???
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maria! I wish he would hold still long enough for me to paint him from life! This was all from a photo, (one of my favorites, I might add.)
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's his eyes that look like they are filled with love and adoration. What a wonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteI know how much you love Cloud, because I love my Maggie, too! And it is evident that he loves you as expressed in this portrait. Well done! And a big congratulations on your 200th post! Looking forward to many more!
ReplyDeleteYippee, it's Cloud The Wonder Dog! Always love seeing paintings of our furiend.
ReplyDeleteAmazing painting!
ReplyDeleteThe mutual love between you and Cloud radiates from this painting. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Kat. Your eyes are the best. I love getting your blog in my mailbox each day. Happy 200 and Many More!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone, for the lovely comments! I'm happy that my intention with this painting came through, and you can feel the love we share.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! He's my little baby boy... :-)
