Oskar with Orange Tile

Oskar with Orange Tile  6"x6" Acrylic on Hardboard

This painting is of Oskar.  It is a commissioned painting for a birthday present.  Such fun.  The only request was that their might be some orange in the painting.  So, I thought the tile floor could easily have elements of orange in it with the contrasting blue lines.  I also like the perspective of looking down at Oskar as the owner of dogs generally do.

It has been awhile since I have posted and painted.  Life recently got complex and painting was not important for several months.  However, I am feeling stronger now and painting is a type of therapy presently.   My goal is to post a weekly painting or drawing or some sort on the blog.  Heres to good intentions!
