"Beagle" 8 x 10, Graphite and Charcoal

OMG I love Beagles, and the puppies are the cutest.  I used to have a beagle mix that died a few years ago and broke all of our hearts.  He was the cutest, and I'll hopefully be able to post a portrait of him this month.  But in the meantime, here's this puppypost.

“Sugar 2018”  16 x 20, Pastel

8/18/2018

0 Comments

 
​Meet this pretty little Boykin Spaniel named Sugar. This was my first pet commission, and I was so excited and nervous!  It was long distance so the owners, Craig and Robin Street, sent me several photos and described her to me over the phone. I sent them a photograph of the finished portrait, and they seemed to be very pleased with it, and even had already had prints made of it so they could hang more than one!  

I was not familiar with the breed and the owners explained that the color is known as “liver,” which is kind of a chocolate brown.  I learned that the more photos I can get the better because Sugar’s coat in each of the photos looked like a different color!  She was almost red in one of them, very dark in another, and a light brown in a third photo.

Staycation Sketches, #1 of 3: Jason Day, Australian Pro Golfer!  This Memorial Day weekend, Guy and I stayed home and relaxed.  I enjoyed the opportunity to continue my series of golfers.  I've been learning a new technique of using graphite and white charcoal on toned tan paper.  I love the effect, especially the way it appears to be reflecting the sun, so perfect for golfers!  Hope you enjoy these.

Part 3 of 3 from my vacation. We've been able to spend a week here at Fort Morgan, Alabama and rest.  We both needed the time to clear our heads and slow down.  Here's a little Rickie Fowler for you.  I like him:  Good golfer, good person.
