Here is one of the commissions that I did for Christmas. Pam Ray asked me to paint Sadie for her daughter Amy.
Sadie sadly passed away yesterday, and my heart just breaks for Amy and her family.
Sadie was one of the harder portraits that I painted this year. White and black dogs are a bit more difficult to do. The shading and detail of the fur is more time consuming. Sadie had such beautiful fur and eyes, and I really took my time to try to get everything right. Her fur was so soft looking and I tried my best to capture the subtle shading with white and greys with smaller finer fur details with my brush.
It was an honor to paint her, and she is greatly missed. Rest in peace, sweet Sadie. I'm so sorry for your loss, Amy. ((Hugs))
