Irish Setter pup by Dawn Secord

This painting was just finished yesterday. A few years ago a friend sent me a photo of this sleeping pup. I asked her if I could use it for a painting and she agreed.


Sometimes photos are taken out of perspective. The reference photo for this painting was perfect. It is a mini painting and the frame was made by a friend of mine in back East. He does amazing things with wood. I love that the frame is hand made right here in America.


Hope you enjoy viewing the painting as much as I did painting it!

Beautiful! The frame really enhances the whole picture and frames this wee chaps slumber so safely! Another very nice painting Dawn :D

That is so cute and innocent painting of little pup, very well done. What is the size of the frame?
