Painting Puppies

Just a short blog to give you a peek into what I started this week.  I had forgotten that I had some cradle boards prepped with metallic plaster on the edges and masked off to paint.  When I moved the studio it was a nice surprise to find them.  I decided to veer away from birds and paint these two adorable puppies.  They belong to a good friend of mine and are as sweet as can be, however, not always this calm.  I’m sure they’re dreaming about chasing bunnies.
