Tess!

In all the excitement over the "Wet Dog is the Loving-est" show, I plum forgot to post about these completed commission paintings of the adorable Tess.

This patron discovered me via the "5 x 7" Arthouse at Jones Center fundraiser last year, where I donated several little dog paintings. It was incredible to me how we could connect from Texas to California and make art happen while never meeting! She was a delight to work with and she reports that she is loving these paintings.

They are 12" x 12" oil on canvas.

Here's a close up of that "tilted head" pose, which I just loved:
