"Mallory"


This painting was HARD! It probably took a total of 10 hrs which is longer than it should have. I only had one photo to work from and the dog was wet. I will never do that again. I am trying to build a larger portfolio of pet portraits. My interest in pet portraits has increased since the passing of my birth mother, Peggy Bang. She was quite famous for her depiction of the Cocker Spaniel and her work can been seen at peggybang.com
