Sorry - oil painting

Sorry has a bad dog look... 'I wasn't so bad, don't be so angry' ...
You might know this look your dog had made a mess in your bed even though it was a forbidden territory for them...

Happy -oil painting

Happy New Year Everyone!

This is Happy here. He is a great teacher of happiness. Really. There are many dogs with slight sadness in their 'personality'. Happy is just not that kind of dog. He knows how to live life the fullest, he is energetic and happy, happy, happy.

Bathing Time

I like to experience with coloured background. This time I've just  pushed the experience even further: wet fur on that coloured background. Have you take notice that in those big, fluffy furs there are spindly legs?

Grief - dog portrait

Painting a sad dog is healing to the soul. 

The experiment here is the vivid red base and the limited palette.

 My new best friends. 

A True Aristocrat

Usually I have to find a reason why to paint a given painting. It can be a beam of light, a wonderful colour, a smile on a face, a .... whatever that touches my soul. If i don't find that specific reason, my soul gets bored.
In this case the reason was 'that look'. Just a born aristocrat can have 'that look'. I hope it comes through.

Hugo -dog portrait

Lately I painted a series of dog portraits.
Here is the second in the row, Hugo. He is my new best friend. A totally different character than Titan.
I don't know how it is with other artists, but with me I am always in love with my 'painting subjects'.

Meet My Friend, Titan -oil painting

Meet my friend, Titan. He is my best serious friend. How could not be? With that face he has... he must be serious. Anyway he's a gentle giant. Please welcome him:

Sleeping buddies - small dog painting

I am always surprised when I find two dogs befriending like these two. 
My dog is not a friendly one after all. You wouldn't tell.  
She wouldn't be so friendly that she let a friend into her house. 
So I'm just wondering at these two guys here:

Sunbathing - dog painting

Have you seen small creatures bathing in the sun lately?
First phase is sitting and looking clever and alert.
It takes a minute or so.
Next phase is looking tired and laying down a bit. 30 sec.
And then the Big Relaxation.

Camera Shy - dog painting

This is a friend of mine from real world. She is a furry-4-legged friend, and I don't know  why, she is camera shy. May be the lens of the camera are too big, I guess. Anyway, even her clever eyes shine through or not, she is a cute one.

My Blogfriend - small, dog, oil painting

This is my blogfriend, Chester. Say hello to him. We meet a few times a month. Yes, yes, he has someone (Melody) he uses as his technician because blogging is hard work.
So we are virtual friends. I don't know if I could smell good for him or not  - even if it's important for dogs - we have never met in person, but I adore him from distance.
And the moment I felt the urgent need to paint a dog, it was him in my mind.  Enjoy!

You Know How Smart I Am - Oil painting

She is an old mate of us. She speaks through her eyes as dogs always do. And we melt like butter...

Dinnertime

oil on gessoboard, 15x15 cm, 6x6 in (No.4)

sold

Hungry dog appears at the door of my studio in the afternoons. 

She is punctual like a clock tower chasing eye contact.

"You know what I am here for, don't you? 

Dinner."

And I understand.

If I don't, she sits there to make it clear it is time to finish whatever I do.

 The dog happens to be mine.

Not a single word needs for her, I am trained already.

Dogs at Play

(Acrylic on paper 16x21 cm)

Playing  on the beach. 

Isn't it a dream  of each of us? 

So look how it is.

Playing freely... a little bit biter... but not so that it would hurt.

In a few minutes we change roles.
