Oil painting of a miniature dachshund and a Work In Progress

10" x 14" oil on linen canvas 

I thought this evening I'd post a painting and a work in progress of it for those interested to see a little of the process involved in creating an oil painting, or I should say, my way of creating an oil painting! I'm really not sure - is it possible to have a more appealing expression than this little dog has? I don't think so! I hope you enjoy the painting!

Oil painting of a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog

Che - Rhodesian Ridgeback oil on canvas (8" x 10")

Well I've been very dilatory about posting here, but promise to do better! :)

To start with here is a boy who I think you'll all agree with me, is a most gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is painted in oils - handsome Che. I hope you all like him!

Longhaired Dachshund portrait

Longhaired Dachshund - Oil on canvas 16" x 12"

As I explained on my Facebook page (Anne Zoutsos Artist), I'm still trying to catch up with posting my paintings. The one featured today was a pre-Christmas commission so at this rate I'll still be posting last year's Christmas portraits just before this Christmas! Oh well, painting's more important than posting - or it is to me although I suppose it's not the way to be when social networking is so important these days. Whoops!

The Very Best Of Friends - Whippet and Child

The Very Best Of Friends - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite

There can be few sweeter or closer friendships than that between a child and beloved dog. When Anne Stark of Pipers Whippets and Dachshunds sent me this photo I simply had to paint it - such a lovely moment captured in time.
