Dog Paintings

This morning I thought that I would use a selection of my dog paintings and make a compilation video to post on my youtube account. I’m not sure why I expected that it would be a quick and simple thing to do (admittedly finding royalty free public domain music was the most time consuming), and thanks to the technical know-how of my 12 year old, here is the finished video!

There is actually one or two that I havn’t listed on this blog yet, let me know if you can pick them out!

Cheers

“Rainbows and Sunshine”, what else could I call this fun filled colourful pastel painting of a black Newfoundland puppy?  I really enjoyed painting this one, I really wanted to loosen up, and convey the personality without much detail, so I actually used a very bad reference photo that I had taken at a dog show.  (At the time I was disappointed that the photo was so bad, but the resulting painting is worth it I think:)

Painting realistic pet portraits means that I don’t usually get to splash around with lots of colour, so that was the main aim with this one - plus to capture the late afternoon sunlight and the glorious colours in his fur without using black!

Thanks for visiting Dogpaintings.com.au, my blog for my series of dog art!

This blog is currently under construction, so please excuse the dust while I move in and get settled.  I hope to have everything ready and other projects and commitments finalized in order to start the Dog Paintings project in September/October, but if you are keen, please feel free to submit your favourite dog photos now and read about the Dog Paintings series in the menu at the left of your screen.

The Galleries featuring my Dog Art will be ready soon for easy viewing (featuring both commissioned work and the dog paintings project gallery), but in the meantime, you can view examples of my dog breed art, pet portrait commissions, wildlife art and photography on my online portfolio at www.michellewrighton.com
