This painting was done on a Gallery Wrap canvas. The edges are painted all around, and it doesn't need a frame. I got the idea for this from seeing dogs that like to "hang on" to stuff. It can be a toy, a chew rope, or a piece of clothing...you can swing 'em around and the dogs love flying through the air. And of course, Hunter (my niece's Bagle puppy) provided inspiration!

"Shy" - 8x8x" Original Oil on Creative Edge canvas

This painting is almost finished. It is on an 8x8" Creative Edge canvas with 3/4 wide edges. I just need to put some finishing touches on the edges, let it dry, varnish, let it dry...then put it up for sale. This piece was inspired, again, by my niece's Bagle (Basset - Beagle) puppy, Hunter.

We were sitting out in the yard and my senior citizen Rhodesian Ridgeback,

Hanna,was "doggin' " him everywhere he went. He finally took refuge behind Natalie's pant leg, and I took the photo. So I imagined him hiding behind a curtain, if a guest came into his home. Just a little too shy to come out before he can check out the company!
