"Morning Star II"

I've painted this sweet girl a few times now from different angles. 

She is a commission for a lady who wanted her for a special spot in her home. 

I was not sure if it would work using red here for the background because there 

is a fair bit of red in the subject, but i really like the outcome. 

Hopefully the client will agree!

"Hulahen"

This is little "Hulahen". She belonged to a young gal who owns six of these delightful creatures, 

the Boxer. 

She wanted a reminder of how sweet this girl was and to be able to see her often.

"Lola"

I love the names people give their dogs. Lately it seems they are using more human names. Brian, Jimmy, Stewie, Ricky and such. Not so much any more the old traditional dogs names. No Bowsers, Fidos, or Lucky's.  I think of their names as i paint. This girl had an especially suitable name. She seems so sad, distant but wise. Her name means "sorrow".  I'm sure she had a bountiful supply of love to lavish on her owners. I loved painting her. She is such a beautiful Boxer. Watercolour on Arches paper, 16" X 16".

"Lexi"

Meet Lexi. She was a very sweet intuitive gal i am told. 

Her owner is involved with Boxer Rescue and had fostered over 100 dogs while Lexi was with her. 

She told me Lexi had an ability to be able to help the other dogs with whatever issues they may have had to deal with. She was more than just a dog but a soulful spiritual being almost in the way she 

was. Needless to say, her master was devastated when Lexi finally had to go. 

This painting was commissioned in honour of the special Boxer she was.
