Monty
Size: 8×10 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Hardboard
This is one of the commissions I worked on earlier this year (2009). The model Monty is a blind Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). The reference photo given to me was not good enough to work from, so I searched my sources and found this beautiful sleeping Sheltie in Wet Convas. My client was very happy with the result, so I was too. :)

Acrylic Painting, Animal Kingdom, Fine Arts, Our K9 Friend 1 image a day (Dogs only), Painted Dogs, Realist Traditional Art and Wildlife and Pet Paintings Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
