some say that our fluffy mutt is the cutest they’ve ever seen
…i think it’s the ears, maybe it’s the eyes, or possibly just the hair
~whatever it is
this dog stops traffic….on the sidewalk and the road
…on a leash or in the car

here is a picture of “odie” in my studio

recently i had an open studio
a couple came and fell in love with odie
they were inteseted in commissioning a portrait of her

i’ve done several paintings with cats and the figure
but never felt connected visually to a dog
…until Odessa came along

i had been thinking of how i’d like to start putting her in my paintings
…wasn’t sure how…or when…the time would be right

this commission forced me to take the leap

titled:
“love is for you, and you are love”
