Calamity

This is Calamity.


Look at that sweet face.


I was recently comissioned by Karla at The Summer Kitchen Journal to do a painting of her dog.








Isn't she just adorable?



And look how pretty she sits for her photo shoot.












Here is the painting I did of Calamity.


6x6
acrylic on canvas


She was a JOY to paint!
Thank you, Karla, for allowing me to paint your beautiful Calamity!





If you are interested in having a painting done of your pet, please email me.

hee hee hee....still oh so tickled with Calamity's portrait!!
I think everyone in the world should have you paint their dogs - it makes you so happy to see them up on the wall :)
I might just have to get another dog so we can have you paint them!!
