Drake


Drake  acrylic on board, 8"x8"
Drake was a Christmas commission painting.  He is a perky dog that I had much fun putting to color.  I have not met this dog so I just have a photo to go by.  It is harder if I don't know the personality of the animal.  I think it helps with clues to how I will approach the painting if I have a closer relationship with the subject.  I did play around with the background some with a wash to give it an additional texture.
