They'll Be Home Soon
Okay,Okay…I know I am on a Golden Retriever kick…but I just can’t seem to get past the soft faces and warm colors and maybe it is because I just saw Marley and Me! Cried like a baby I tell you…anyway, I did one like this many years ago for a client and just had to give it another try.
This is an oil and acrylic painting, painted on gallery wrapped artist portrait canvas.
12”X 14”
This original is for sale.

This is going to be a big seller I,I will tell you why I think this. There was a local artist around here named Griff that done a painting called Six pack , It was six puppies in the back of an old Chevy pick up . It was very popular around here. Prints of it showed up everywhere.There were even vanity tags for your car made of it . .
Susan Bergstrom replied 28 days ago
...you think? LOL…well not on RB, I haven’t made a sale in months…nobody buys any of my work anymore!!! ...and I decided not to sell Josey For George at the art fair…figured you needed to have it some day!
