Putter's owner, Tommy, is a golf pro hence the name. I wanted a grassy green background to add to the theme. I like the simplicity of the straight forward composition. Nothing more charming than the loving gaze from your best friend! I hope Tommy is pleased.

This is so stunning. I love how you have captired the character as well as the breed. The pose is perfect too........wonderful work!
Thanks, Jean. My recent painting of sheep helped, as Putters fur coat was very similar. Lots of scumbling and glazing to get the wooly effect. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Wonderful portrait. I love the reflected glow!
glad to have found your blog.
Best regards,

Thanks, Liz. I really enjoy painting these small 6x6 dog portraits. In a way, the small size projects a more intimate, special feeling than a larger portrait can. Small jewels to remind us of our "best friends".
Jennifer, I love your paintings! You really captured this puppy's personality. Glad I discovered your blog.

Thanks, Carol. I'm glad you like the Putter puppy painting! Thanks for dropping in!
Gorgeous portrait of Putter! Such beautiful curls and such lovely detail for a 6 x 6.
I am finding 6x6's perfect for a head/portrait of pets. I use a #4 or #6 bright for the entire painting...using only a detail brush, like a round # 1 for the eye detail. Helps me keep loose.
That is such a sweet portrait. What a cute dog! I love the shading. Beautiful work. Tommy will be pleased.
Thanks, Shelley. Tommy was pleased. People love their pets!
