Bella Basset BELLA

As I type, Bella's oil portrait is still drying. (Today is Tuesday & I'm hoping the oil paints are dry enough to pack & mail the painting this Friday. Keeping my paws crossed...)
Anyway, here's bella BELLA, including photos as the painting takes shape along the way:

The Great Dane Connection

Somehow I didn't get around to posting this "Great Dane Connection" when the painting was finished back in 2013. But here it is now, along with photos of the painting as it progressed along the way:
