Painting white objects is truly a challenge, as you have to show the form, while still representing a very white dog.
Mostly I wanted to capture his gentle nature and I'm told by those who knew him, I did.
Painted in oils on a 9x12 inch gallery wrapped canvas.

From his human:
Dear Elizabeth,
I can not thank you enough for the
painting of Nicky. What an artist you are. It is absolutely beautiful. I
will cherish it always. We lost Nicky last Oct. He was my best friend.
What a wonderful gift. I still miss him everyday. This portrait has
captured him exactly, especially his eyes. When that picture was taken
he was looking at me. I had told him to sit and look pretty and I'll
take your picture. He was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much. Pauline
