I'm really excited about my next dog commission - those of you who follow dog blogs may be familiar with Twix, the "tweenie red Dachshund" from A Wiener Dog Blog. I was delighted when her mom emailed me about painting her portrait as a Christmas present for her daddy.
I looked through a lot of her photos, and this one screamed "PAINT ME!"
The above photo shows her sketched out on the canvas and ready for paint. Here is the original photo:
It's going to be so much fun to paint that sweet head tilt, those ears and eyes, (and the hearts on her collar...) The canvas size is 10 x 10 inches.Remember, it's a surprise Christmas present, so don't leave any comments about the painting over on Twix's blog in case her daddy reads it! :-)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Can't wait to see it! Dear little doggie!
Hi Cloud
I bet you'll be lots of help to Mom during this project. I can see you sitting right by her feet ready to offer advice.
This is very exciting. We can hardly wait until you finish.

Such a cute pose!
We just know it will be beautiful. We should have done this for our Dad with a pic of our sweet Dakota.
Can't wait to follow the progress of this one.

What a great expression! Yes, she's definitely saying "Paint Me." :)
Awww, Twix is super cute!
Fantastic pose, Kathleen!
The half-cocked head already catches your eye....and it's not even painted yet!
