Soulful Eyes -Beagle-Dog

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Kathy was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

This is Wylan. Kathy said the rescue she got him from in Canada said he was a day away from being put to sleep in a high kill shelter. Wylan looks so thankful to have been saved. I have been owned by several beagles in years past, so I know this expression pretty well.

The papillon was just too cute to pass up.
Every time I come back to acrylics, I'm always striving to get looser....mostly with no success.
I'm pretty satisfied with this one. Will wonders never cease???!!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the hostess who provided a bunch of great photos! This is her dog, Lakhota. From the photo, I got the impression that Lakhota was looking into the wind....searching intently  with both his nose and his eyes. Perhaps for a returning owner.

This is  Kashmir...and she sure knows how to pose for a portrait!I tried to lay the paint on extra thick in an attempt for spontaneous color blends.
Thought I was done, but when it was photographed and I saw it on the monitor, I had to do some touch ups....several times.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Li was the gracious hostess who supplied all the great reference photos.

This was made from a photo of a beautiful dog named Legend who was loyally awaiting the return of his master. Legend simply touched my heart. Someone is very lucky to be owned by a dog like this!

This is oil on a 7x5 hardboard. This is about 95% painting knife. I liked seeing the paint do its thing.

Golden Open Acrylics on a 5x7 canvas panel.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. June was the gracious hostess.

 I'm not at all used to these open acrylics...they fall between regular fast drying acrylics (which I'm used to) and oils (which I really like) in how they handle for me. Once I got familiar with them, they would be a joy to use.

This little guy's name is Snowball. I changed the reference to put him into a Christmas setting.
 In an attempt to keep it fresh and avoid overworking, I loaded the brush...made the stroke...went back and loaded again, etc. A stroke laid = a stroke stayed.

My first ever painting of a Great Pyrenees mountain dog was on the April 6 WDE that was hosted by Mary. Here he is. So here I am doing another.... Guess I can't resist that white fur.

I broke out the painting knife for this one for a change.
Thanks for looking!

Mary explained this is a Great Pyrenees that was bred to guard stock for shepherds. A very noble looking dog!

I started out with the intent of 100% painting knife. But I became impatient and resorted to the loaded brush about halfway through.

I hope ya like it! Happy Easter!!

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Joel was the great host. Thanks for the terrific reference photos.

I chose to paint this stately dog because the coat is fascinating with all that flowing fur. I had fun laying in the impasto strokes selectively. The impasto was done with a loaded brush....Yes the brush was loaded, not me! No palette knife was used...and no doggies were harmed in the making of this painting...

Originally, I believed this was a Russian Wolfhound, and said so in my title. I corrected the title when Kathryn Ragan of Studio At The Farm came to my rescue and pointed out that it's actually an Afghan Hound. Thank you Kathryn! Get over to her fine blog and check out the great demo she did on a super painting of geese!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Susan was the great hostess. Thanks for the terrific reference photos.

Nothing says "unconditional love" like a child or a dog. These two earthly entities have to be very close to the love of angels.

This is something NEW for me and I really enjoy it....palette knife painting!!!
In the past, I have dabbled with a spot here and there with the painting knife...but this is the real McCoy! In a very few areas I used my finger or a brush to pull things together. I'm very happy with this style and all the color "happenings" it creates.
Thanks for looking!
