Sled Dog


6 x 6 in, oil on linen board

This painting was taken from a photo I took at a dog show. I don't know if this dog is a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute. After researching online about their characteristics and differences, I'm embarrassed to say I still don't know! Anybody?

Borzoi


6 x 6 in, linen on board

I took a picture of this gorgeous Borzoi at a dog show recently. He reminded me of our Alfie who was a goofy fun loving guy. He learned life in the country the hard way. Horses don't always watch where they step and cats tend to scratch you when they're irritated!

This is Oscar doing his "Jabba the hut" imitation. Oscar really does have a neck but sometimes he likes to scrunch his head down into his shoulders so he can look plump and strange. He's a big Star Wars fan.
