Voltraine
Reign
The late Reign belonged to a friend of mine, Freedom. As you can see, he was such a sweet, great boy.
PInky
Oh, the regal Pinky... have you ever seen a dog with such good posture?
Moose
Moose is owned by my friends Haji & Nicole, and loves to eat and chase corn hole bags. He has bat ears and is pretty amazing.
Kitty
Fritz
Fritz is the first fluffy dog I ever painted and the first time I ever used gesso as a texturing agent - totally changed the way I paint!
Stevie
This guy was my friend Stevie's best buddies dog who passed away last year; I was really happy with how the blues & greens turned out with this one.
Lola
Much to my surprise, the real Lola turned out to actually be smaller than the painting!
Ursa
Nanny
Oh look at little Nanette; she is quite the little lady and resides in Ohio with her moms!
Penny
Dear, sweet Penny passed away a little while back, and was lovingly owned by the amazing Kay. She was such a joy to paint, and she was such a special dog!
Gracie
Gracie is a member of the Rutherford clan, one of my favorite families (and long-time supporters/listeners of Funemployment Radio!) here in Portland - she is so adorable.
Kirk
Kirk's family dog just passed away recently; this is the painting he got for his wife of their favorite picture of him
Pup Pup
Sasha
Sasha is the dog of a dear friend of mine named Heather! I made this for Heather a few years ago for Christmas, hence why the signature is so prominent in the bandana. Every time I see his little face I still think of this picture; it's one of my favorites!
Major
This is Major who just passed away recently; he is very missed by his mom Sheri.
Luscious
Luscious was quite the fancy lady, and lived in Las Vegas with her owner Carlotta. She really really liked her tutu. (Luscious, not Carlotta... unless they had matching tutu's I have no awareness about)
