Dog Portrait in Progress

To inquire about this piece, leave a comment or contact the artist directly at the link in this post. If all else fails, email txsauce@txsauce.net and your inquiry will be forwarded to the artist.

This project is the third of four Dalmatian portraits I am currently painting. This image shows my initial sketch on a lightly toned canvas. The image was sketched with a brush loaded with thinned oil paint, burnt umber in color. I will show you more next week as the painting progresses.

I accept pet portrait commissions.

Winston the Bergamasco Sheep Dog

Here I go posting without a new painting to show you. I have locked myself in the studio until I have completed three pet portrait commissions.

In the meantime, here is an older pet portrait painted as a commissioned piece in 2009. This oil painting of Winston captured the essence of the breed. Somewhere under that mop of fur, Winston had open eyes. They were hard to find. Winston was a lovable soul and a fun dog to paint.
