Violet - 20" x 16" watercolour on Saunders Waterford paper
Following my full body portrait of Violet, her owner was so pleased that she decided to commission me to paint a head study of Violet. It is always a pleasure to paint these little dogs - they are so confident of their own importance and you can see it in their expressions. Violet's owner tells me she is no exception and always expects to be the centre of attention (and she gets it!)
I thought you might also be interested to see a photo I took of the painting when I had reached my initial 'stage one' phase ie I had painted her eyes and nose - although neither of these finished - and a rough blocking in of the rest of her head.
If you have any questions, either about a painting technique you think I might be able to help you with, or about a painting you'd like to commission from me, just drop me a line at info@azpaintings.com

Wow, this is amazing! My puppy is part Miniature American Eskimo and part Shih Tzu and she is definitely the center of attention in our home.
Beautiful painting, you are extremely talented. I can see why your client would want a portrait in addition to the original commission.
Thanks so much Deanna - that's very kind!
Gosh, your puppy must be pretty - I'm not surprised she's the centre of attention! :)
