Original artwork description:

As a fine artist, I love to capture the personalities of the animals that I encounter on my walks. Dogs are some of my favorite subjects to paint, and I enjoy painting portraits of them in their various moods and poses.

There are all kinds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and quirks. Whether they are bouncy and playful, calm and serene, or simply regal and dignified, dogs are always full of character.

I have painted many portraits of dogs, using various mediums and techniques to bring out their individual personalities. My favorite surface to paint on is linen canvas mounted on a wood board, as it provides a strong and durable base for the paint and allows me to work with a range of colors and textures.

One of the highlights of painting dog portraits is the chance to get to know each individual animal and understand their character and personality. This is particularly evident when I paint their eyes, which are often said to be the windows to their soul.

Whether you're a dog lover or simply appreciate beautiful paintings, I hope my portraits of our furry friends will bring a smile to your face and remind you of the joy and love that they bring into our lives.
