I painted Daisy's sister Sally, a terrier, about 7 years ago. You can read Sally's story on this blog. Daisy's mother contacted me again to paint her new dog Daisy when Daisy turned 5 years old. Daisy is a beautiful purebred white labrador retriever. I got to meet Daisy prior to painting her. I try to do this if the client is local to the Boulder, Colorado area. What a wonderful warm personality. A real sweetheart! I soaked her in and took some playful reference photos of her.
The portrait was a surprise father's day gift from Daisy's mother. I try to make these paintings affordable for most people because they make such great gifts. The 11 x 14 of Daisy was $350 oil on canvas. Daisy's mother chose the background because it represents her back yard. Daisy spends a lot of time back there.
