Painting a Dog a Day by Kimberly Kelly Santini



"Legs II (Boxer Pup)," painted sketch, image approximately 6" x 5", total paper size 8" x 7", Golden Open Acrylics on multimedia artboard, $59. Inquiries (including booking your own Dog a Day pet portrait/painted sketch starting at $29) may always come to me.

I was feeling a little drained this morning and couldn't commit to doing a full scale painting so decided to do some painted sketches instead. The first one I tossed (it was too big of a mess to try and save), but this little guy, he shines. And the third sketch (still on the easel) is quickly becoming a full scale painting on it's own.

My reference photo was taken at our Homecoming Parade last fall (same time as theBasset painting, Legs I). I wonder if this little lady has grown into her feet yet....

Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork with your friends and family. Have a sunshiney weekend -
Kim

I like the dog and the messy finish, it has a fantastic feel to it. There is really that focus on the dog.
