Noon-Napping is my entry in Dick Blick's September Pet Portrait Competition. The top prize is $500 in art supplies. The painting is of Joshua, one of our German Shepherds and the one that most enjoyed being outside in the sunshine. Joshua has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge but working on this painting brought him back to me for a little while.
Rosemary I haven't visited for a while. So glad I didn't miss this post of Joshua. He looks just a bit like my Shelby laying there. What a lovely portrait of such a regal pet. I haven't been able to paint my Sarge because of missing him so much - maybe someday I will find it is possible. Take care - Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Debbie, for the sweet comments. Joshua was so very special in so many ways. I appreciate how you feel about painting Sarge. Our last GS, Jade, has been gone almost three years and it still hurts to much to think about painting her. We talk about and miss her every day.
DeleteYour Sarge was gorgeous and actually he led me to your blog! Shelby is beautiful and no doubt a wonderful pet. Time for me to visit Harmony Hill! Hugs to you too!
Gorgeous and prize worthy. I like the gesture.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, thank you so much - don't expect a win but I do enjoy competing especially when there is no entry fee! I must go catch up with your travels. As much as you inspire me to sketch on the i-pad - just can't bring myself to start. I have some apps - but do not have a stylus or pencil. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will lucky to win it.
