I thought so. If you have a dog you love him or her to death. He’s a good boy; she’s a good girl. (So don’t ask them that anymore; just tell them already!)
My last post, the dog portrait, got a lot of attention AND a commission to paint another dog portrait, Lucy. What a beauty she is.
I love to paint; it is a joy. It’s like when you “throw the ball for the dog” kind of joy.
Painting a commissioned piece is a bit more stressful I find. It’s more like “sitting there with the biscuit on your nose waiting to be told, ‘Ok'”, kind of fine line between pain and pleasure.
So in the end I do my best see what happens.
Here is “Lucy”.

Beautiful painting, the colors, the look and especially the eyes! Love your analogy of what it feels like to paint a commission.

Andrea, What a beautiful dog portrait. Seriously, people will pay good money for commissioned pet paintings?
