Dogs in Goggles

2011-11-04T21:03:00.001-07:00

These were probably the most fun to paint.

I didn't know that they actually made sun goggles for dogs until my daughter showed me a photo of Felix in them.

Felix is the corgi in the middle.

I didn't have any photos of the other 2 dogs in goggles so I needed to find some goggles on the web and "paste" them on the dogs in photoshop.

I have a website . . yes another one . . . where you can purchase laminated prints of the dogs. They are available together or individually.

Here's the link - http://dogsingoggles.com/

The prints are great!
I had one made for my daughter of all 3 dogs and she constantly gets compliments on it.

I painted my sister's dog Jeremy in oils. This was a commissioned painting . . my first in oils of a dog. I loved the ease of blending colors, especially while working on the fur. Or is it hair?
