Coco's View From The Top, oil on canvas, 11"x14". Sold.
Some people may detect some favouritism at play here with the dog breeds that I choose to paint. It is true that I paint quite a few Frenchies and Pugs, but it's not necessarily because I find them cuter than other dogs even though they do rate pretty high on the cute scale. The thing is, I like their shape. It's an aesthetic choice I guess. Their compact bodies and short hair makes them easy but interesting to paint. And then there are those crazy eyes. I don't dare tell this to my spaniel though (jealousy issues).
I think you’ve done quite a variety of dogs in addition to pugs and Frenchies: all those different BW Manor dogs; the Monte Carlo poodles; the Quiet Country hunting dogs; The Duchess dachshund; Gracie’s dogs; the Entaglement dogs; and Lady Cecile’s and the Croque Monsieur KCS’s; the Fontaine Sisters’ poodle and dalmation, to name but a few.
You have a wonderful way with ALL kinds of animals. I’d be really sunk if you started doing more cats.
I love the whole composition. It almost looks like Coco could answer the phone if it rang while she was up there!
Janet – would love to know when you are coming out with a line of wallpaper designs…love the hot air balloons!
A wallpaper line would be great!
As an owner of two pugs, I like them aesthetically too…and I am partial! I love the pug artwork! It reminds me of my pugs, Nacho and Beans!
Love your artwork!! I am featuring you on my blog on Monday the 13th. Your work inspires me and I could design complete rooms around your paintings! Great job!
