Sisters

This is a larger painting I recently finished for a friend back in Hawaii.  Sadly, sweet Ellie (the Rotti laying on her side) passed away.  These two had a special bond that I was trying to capture in this painting.  The photo I used was of these two on a couch.  My friend wanted something a bit more fun for the background, so in came the pool!

I've been chomping on the bit to paint this one for quite some time!  I love the warm glow on this dog's fur and the rumbling waves in the distance.  It felt good to work on a smaller painting again.  Thanks to Pixabay for the photo reference!  I have a bunch of photos from this summer that I'm excited to paint but will have to wait a week or two as I'm headed back to Oahu to spread my mom's ashes next week.
