Here is Kenai, Churchillā€™s partner in crime. My take is that sheā€™s smarter than he, or perhaps sheā€™s just content to be his audience. Either way, they make for a great team. Because Kenai is the quieter partner, I averted her gaze, and set her against a darker ground. This created a self-contained space. The blues and violets echo this effect, and the result is a wonderful little painting. Kenai, 5x7, acrylic dog painting on canvasboard. Private collection. Thanks, as always, for looking.

Meet Churchill, an especially endearing malamute who excels at sneaking food off countertops and letting himself out. Now, if he could just learn to close the door behind himselfā€¦. In this painting, I blocked in the basic shapes and then blended the wet paint with a drybrush. I built several layers of translucent glaze up this way, finally going in overtop with the sharper edges of his eyes, which also carry the densest spots of color. ā€œChurchill,ā€ 6x8, acrylic on canvasboard.
