Nola

"Nola" 8x10 oil on board

Nola is in a very good home and he's a lovely dog with a lovely owner.
The original photo was taken at night so it took me some time to see him properly but I think I got there in the end!

Westie

"Westie" Oil on board 8x8

"Westie", a West Highland White Terrier, a delightful intelligent dog, which was a joy to paint.

Nate

"Nate"  rescue dog, 8x8 oil on board

Another lovely dog to paint, such curiosity in his eye and definitely ready to go.
Once again another waiting to be adopted from Bullies in need.

They describe him :

"I'm a teenager, but I am as handsome and sophisticated as Sean Connery was playing James Bond. I fit in with the young crowd (I love happy people) and I fit in to the Bingo playing crowd (I love yelling Bingo and I love nap time!). Basically, I can be happy almost anywhere I am great with dogs, though I do like to play, and I am pretty good with cats that like dogs. I can be a bit needy at time, so I am looking for an owner who will take me to class so we can both learn together about how to have a healthy understanding of expectations (and also so I can be praised and meet new people) I am up for adoption out East, as my foster mom is going to school in Nova Scotia. If you're looking for a charming boy to share your days with (and your home and heart!) then be quick about it and apply for ME! "

A delightful puppy just full of life a great pleasure to paint!
To quote from the Bullies in Need website:
"Lots of sugar and Lots of spice make everything about this little pup really quite nice! Sushi is a confident and sassy pup who likes to wrestle wrestle wrestle with other dogs and even her people too."

Huck

"Huck" 8x8 oil on board

Huck was a delight to paint, I found him on the Web site for Hart Animal Rescue
He is featured here:
Pathfinder Adoptable Dog


Here is what they say:


"Meet Huck, a charming hound mix that is looking for a special home to call his own.

Huck has come a long way since his initial intake to HART foster care. He was just over a year old when removed from a local pound...2 bullet fragments in his broken hip, suffering severe pneumonia...Huck was advertised for adoption by the pound as "ready to hunt". 

Early days in foster care Huck exhibited severe Post Traumatic Shock. He hid from all things human, having known only the worst of people. Fear ruled his existence and for some weeks prevented other than very limited progress.

Comprehensive vet care, good food, a warm bed and the gentle touch of loving foster guardian hands eventually convinced Huck that life could be good. Steadily Huck returned to confidence, loving the company of his 3 dog pack. In fact he enjoys all other dogs, playing with them gently as they have visited his foster..."

Two more dogs

"Aren't I sweet!" 8x10 oil on board

This is another rescue dog, and now has a happy home in Schomberg with his mate of the same breed and his owner Rachel.

"Guilty" 8x10 oil on board

He is embarrassed having just stolen and eaten 30 lemon tarts. 

Now I'm starting a practice series of horse pictures.

I'm really appreciative of the dog commissions that keep coming in thank you!
