Dude!

This guy was floating around facebook and I just fell in love.  I might want to do another (even though this was a lot of work) with my Boston Terrier (see how close that word is to "terror"?).  I actually painted all the clothing design - I did contemplate collage but my inner "Matisse" came out in the clothing and the wallpapered background.  So hard to photograph all the different finishes and textures - acrylic paint, oil pastels, Pan Pastels, charcoal, etc.  I will tell you that his glasses are acrylic Silk paint and they look shiny and translucent in person.  Hope to be displaying him locally.

Linking to Paint Party Friday (here) hosted by Eva and Kristin.  It's a wonderful venue to view and post any art you might have created - no experience necessary!!!

Thanks so much for visiting - have a blessed and creative day.

    This is so cool! The bright blue is grand! But I think his glasses are what sets him apart!

    Oh this takes me back. I love that you told us all the different paints etc you used. I usually use a mixture too. What in the world is acrylic silk paint? This is a good creative painting. Blessings, Janet PPF

    This is different. He looks so laid back, I wonder if something was in his food. It's a fun painting and well done.
