Two Dog Portraits...in Oil

Sporting portraits is not limited just to men and
women or youth hunting or fishing, but sometimes one's
favorite partner in the field is his/her dog. Here are
two example paintings I did...and taking advantage
of creativity, putting a composite images together from
really very fine reference photos in my possession.

This is a painting of Riley...a young female Chessapeake
Bay Retriever. Young...full of vigor and all that is pup.
She is maturing. I love her intense gaze. A very pretty
dog...


20"x 24" oil


























And this, was a work for a wedding anniversary
gift...a Curly Hair Golden Retriever and a
chocolate Lab...Ashley and Gracie...24"x 30" on
canvas
