Boxer Dog Art in Watercolor and Ink by Vernita Hoyt

Boxer Pup Postcard Sketch Art Series, Watercolor, Ink
by Texas artist Vernita Bridges Hoyt

Please include my name and the title of the artwork in the subject line.

The boxer dog enjoys the cooler mornings but easily overheats in the higher heat and humidity of afternoon. He is childlike. When he is inside, he wants to go out. When he is outside, he wants to come in the house.

I have shown the 6x4 inch sketchbook art matted to fit a 10x8 inch frame. Thank you for viewing my paintings. View my personal blog for price and availability of this painting.

"The Boxer Pup" includes an 8x10 inch white mat (shown).
If you want help with framing, please contact me.

Recently, I have been painting Dalmatian pet portraits. Oh boy! Have I had fun painting all those spots! Spots are much more than black and white.

Dalmatian Dogs have Unique Spot Patterns … 

Did you know that each Dalmatian has a unique spot pattern … like a finger print? There is no making up the spots. If you want the dog to be recognized, you have to get those spots in the right places along with the usual features in the face—the look in the eyes, the placement of the nose, the whiskers, the shape of the mouth, the size of the ears, etc. Yes, I am having fun painting the Dalmatian portraits.

Whimsical Boxer Puppy in Graduation Cap by Vernita Hoyt

Puppy School Graduate

Whimsical Sketchbook Art © Vernita Bridges Hoyt 2015

Boxer Series #1: Puppy School Grad
Daily sketching or drawing is known to improve an artist's skills. Over the past several years I had fallen away from daily sketching, but recently I picked up the sketchbook again. What better place to start than with an ink line sketch of the boxer pup. Sketching has begun. Where will it take me? Thor was not happy at all wearing the graduation cap for his puppy school grad picture, but he was (and is) such a good boy that he wore the cap for a minute or two, long enough for pictures. I used a photo reference for the freehand sketch of Thor puppy and applied a little artistic license to make the his brown eyes blue. This is the first sketch of many to come from my newly revived daily sketch routine.
