Cats and Dogs

It seems I can't stay away from animals,can I? Couldn't help painting these two small studies of a Siamese cat and a Lab(?) in chocolate brown.Both of them small, 5x7..

Chocolate Dod

SOLD

Husky Dog

14"x10"

SOLD

Another dog painting, a husky dog this time.They are pretty friendly,intelligent and loving dogs.This one looks very sensible to me. Reference picture courtesy Pixabay.

This one has been painted on Langton (Daler/Rowney) cold pressed paper which allowed me to work delicately on his fur, lifting up paint as well.Nice paper, I would recommend for detailed work.

Puppy Eyes

Puppy Eyes

12" x9"

SOLD

Recently I realized that even as I have been painting animals almost exclusively these days, dogs were yet to make an appearance.
Eyes are the focal point of my portraits almost invariably.In this portrait,the focus was especially on the soulful,brown eyes of this sweet faced guy. No wonder ,he stole the heart of an art lover and was lapped up the very next day on ArtFinder :) He leaves for his Leeds home today.
