Dog Paintings

Border Collies are my favorite breed of dog - we have two and would have a lot more if we could! I know this little painting of a working bred Border Collie would make an excellent Christmas present for any BC lover:)

How exciting! The Canine Art Guild’s inaugural “Helping Paws 2008 Online Exhibition” is now online!

The original and Limited Edition artwork in the exhibition comes from an international collection of artists who have partnered with local animal shelters and rescues and have pledged a percentage of their sales from this exhibition in support of animal welfare efforts.

In addition, visitors to the online exhibition can vote for their favourite artwork and three People’s Choice honours will be awarded, with cash donations being made to the shelters affiliated with the artworks receiving the most votes for People’s Choice awards

All three pages of artwork can be viewed in the Canine Art Guild’s “Helping Paws 2008″ exhibition which will remain viewable online through to at least January 31, 2009.

As promised, this is the third entry that I have submitted to the exhibition, along with “Noble”, the German Shepherd in charcoal and “Angel in Blue” my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier in oils.

Well its the first of October so I had better post this one:)  This is the first small format painting I have done in the dog painting series (so far all the art I have posted has been portfolio work in my personal collection). This is “Hallie” a most remarkable long haired black and tan dachshund, loved and owned by a fellow artist, Dee Dee Murray.  When I saw the photo of Hallie laying on the couch, I just couldn’t resist the look on her face, isn’t she sweet?

This painting is still detailed and realistic, especially considering its size. I am pleased with how she has turned out, but I do think that it is going to take me a while to loosen up a bit more with my paintings!

I have scanned this painting rather than photographing it, and the blue and green background in the image is showing quite a bit brighter than in the original painting, where the colours a bit more subtle.

Please feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to know what you think of “Hallie”.
