More Animal Aid dog paintings

This terrier started out looking like a cartoon to me. I kept

 layering colors then used the rake or grass brush for highlighting the fur. A

little rake brushwork goes a long way. Also, I'm making a note on

each painting of which colors I mixed. Helpful if I can't paint for a few days.

 

 This dog is Hannah who lives at Animal Aid. 

This is Cody, also from Animal Aid. What a sweetie. I'm taking seven paintings

to Plantiques this Tuesday.

 We babysat the grand boy two days this week. 

It was fun but we had to take naps.

Real dogs looking for homes

This is Reba who lives at Animal Aid in Hampton, Va.

And this is Cathy who lives there, too. I'll be framing these for sale at
Plantiques and part of the profits will go back to Animal Aid.
Hazel takes wonderful photos of the dogs and they have given
their permission for me to paint from her photos.
