fauve puppy dog painting
FINALLY! Here are our four beloved redbones, stackin’ up a few Z’s on their favorite blue plaid blanket after a morning jam packed with a hearty breakfast, squirrel chasing time, seeing who can bark the longest and loudest, and running for the sheer joy of running. After about 2 hours they’ll wake up and do it all over again until suppertime. It’s a dog’s life!
Here are some brushwork details, and below these are all the work-in-progress pics:

Great job Karen! I love the blanket and how you handled the plaid. I am sure I would have chickened out and just made it a solid color! I love it and just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Karen! Beautiful painting!
I noticed it right away.
We are together on DPA.
God bless.
