Blue Day

"Blue Day" 
oil on canvas 6x9

Sold

Shawna broke her dewclaw after running through some brush last week. After a trip to the vet she had to spend the rest of the day laid up with a bandage on her leg. She looked so cute with her blue bandage and so sad I had to take a photo of her and tried to capture the moment in my painting.

    By far, Carol, this is my favorite painting. It is so emotional and real and I think Shawna is adorable.!

    Oh this is so great! You captured Shawna perfectly, I can just imagine her moping about until her next chance to go for a run.

    Love the perspective you decided on for this painting. Again, all that detail, color and emotion on a compact canvas amazes me.

    Thanks everyone, these encouraging comments are really motivating and mean a lot to me. Shawna is on the mend and back running in the woods with a big smile her face.

    I love the angle you did this from! What a sweet dog! You did such a wonderful job of capturing her expression and the texture of her fur! I just want to give her a squeeze! The same thing happened to my dog a few years ago, not a fun experience. Poor Shawna!

    What an adorable expression on her face and eyes! A wonderful portrait of your dog, Carol.
