Kelly (Wheaton Terrier Dog) - 10 x 10" Pastel



This portrait of a Wheaton Terrier was a commission. The photo was provided by the client, and then I took some liberties with it; improving the background, adding the ball, and adding a slightly different facial expression. I tried to express this dog's personality; Kelly is an adorable, affectionate and energetic dog, always wagging that little tail of hers, bringing you her ball, ready for a game of fetch. I am putting the finishing touches on the painting, and will deliver it tomorrow. I hope they will be happy with it!

Oh cool! Your work looks so gorgeous! I admire your talent in making such. I love the colors and vividness. And of course I love your subject! I own one and I can say that Wheaten Terrier often acts like a joyful puppy throughout her life. Though she will bark to announce strangers, she welcomes them as long-lost friends, usually with exuberant barking, bouncing, and face kissing.
