The Good Boy painting of puppy on pattern

The Good Boy  Oil on cradled wood  8" x 10"  NFS
Painting fur is a good way to learn exactly what kind of mark a brush will leave.  Also, I think I've painted enough of the color green for now. Hear about my art give-aways and other art goings-on first!  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter, here. (photo reference provided by Andy Mathis.)  This painting has minor scuffs on the outside edges, a frame will cover scuffs, price has been reduced accordingly.

  6. Your ability to use a relative small number of deliberate brush strokes to tell this little guy's story says it all...
