Today's painting is rather special to me.
Its a portrait of Bill, a jack russell - and he was painted for the winner of an auction, that was held to benefit South East Dog Rescue.
So the rescue benefits and Bill's owner, who has seen the portrait, has a gorgeous painting (her words!) to enjoy.
That's my good news story - hope you enjoy it too!

Pat,
ReplyDeleteSo good to know about this. Artists can really contribute to the society in many ways. And I too love this painting. The body language of Bill is superb.
What a great job you have done here...no wonder Bill's owner is pleased. ☺
ReplyDeletePat, this is a beautiful portrait, love the ocean background and the colors really give that warm ocean feeling! AND benefitting the rescue as well, so nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, I agree with Bill's owner, this painting is gorgeous! You have painted Bill very well indeed! Ciao.
ReplyDeleteOh, Pat,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story!! The painting is so nice and the post makes us happy.
Thank you!
Kind regards, Sadami
He's one happy little fellow, you captured that wide open expression I see so often on Jacks. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteA lucky winner! The portrait of Bill is great!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Missy at first glance! He is GORGEOUS! He looks so lively and full of life. And those shadows are spot on - they really bring it to life! Perfect! :0)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he look like a happy guy! Beautifully done. I have dozens sketches of our pup but none that catches the personality and light in the eye. You have it here!
ReplyDeleteBill looks so happy and keen, bouncing along the beach.
ReplyDeleteOh Pat, what a beautiful rendition of Bill..and such a sweet story.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your WONDERFUL coment and your most welcome visit.
