Junior, 18 x 18" acrylic on canvas© 2010 Kathleen Coy
Junior's portrait is finished. Junior passed away earlier this year, and I hope his owner finds some comfort in this portrait. I really enjoyed painting Junior's thick, white fur reflecting the colors of sun, snow, and shadow. I wanted to use very little actual white paint, and reserved it for a few select highlights. Even with all these colors in his fur, it makes sense - the mind knows it's looking at a white dog.
Speaking of white dog, Junior was featured on an album cover titled "White Dog" by Vlasis. You can see Junior on the album cover here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/vlasis
And here is an "in-progress" video I made of the painting. Enjoy!
Very nice!

How beautiful - painting white is certainly a challenge but one you've mastered here!! I enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing the process!
ReplyDeleteKathleen!
ReplyDeleteI love Junior's wild fur! You pumped so many colors into it even though it was "technically" white. Nice job on that!
It was neat seeing the "in-progress" clip too! The background music had a wonderful spiritual feel to it and matched the subject perfectly!
