A PORTRAIT OF A BEAGLE NAMED BEAN

I JUST COMPETED A PORTRAIT OF Our youngest dog is named Bean.  We got BEAN two Christmases ago, in a weak moment, after our beloved dog –  disappeared. According to the DNA test, he is half Beagle and half “lab mix” . But one thing is for certain, he is 100% scamp!!!

COMING IN FEBRUARY – A DOG PAINTING A DAY

I LOVE DOGS I LOVE PAINTING Last fall I made the VERY difficult decision to stop taking commission work. I have LOVED painting custom pet portraits and plan to return to them in the future but I need to devote my painting time to my original painting to continue growing as an ARTIST. **********************************************
