This is the latest painting to come off my easel. I added some finishing touches to it today and scanned it this evening. The painting is of Molly the lovely chihuahua. It is 20 x 25 cm in size and painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. I really loved the reference photograph. Molly is sitting on a chair covered with a bright pink blanket. The pinks are reflected in her fur and I really wanted to capture this in the portrait. I concentrated most of the detail on Molly’s head, especially her nose and eyes. I hope you all like it.
I am also including some work in progress photos I took when painting. Up next is a portrait of three dogs at Ardgillan Castle in north Dublin.
