Murphy
Very Wet!
Oil on 9" x 12" canvas
This dachshund belongs to Lindsey Pharr...Murphy lives in Houston, Texas. I might need to make a couple of adjustments on this painting, but it is extremely wet right now. I used Yellow Ochre, Cad Red, Burnt Umber and Violet to get his rusty burnt color on his hair. This impressionistic painting has broad brushstrokes loaded with paint. My reference photograph was not real good, and I could not tell what color his little eyes were, but they were pretty dark....dark umber or close to black. I need to study this little fellow some more before I sign it. And maybe a few strokes on the red collar. I could not see the doggie tag in the photo, but it could be a Texas A & M dog tag.
"Elanor" was painted for a friend who tragically lost her best friend a few weeks ago. This is a gift for her. If you have a photo of a pet who has passed, I can create a tiny memorial painting for you - 4x4 or 4x5, only $35 plus shipping. Contact me if you are interested.
