"River"


This is Jules' new pup River who is a chihuahua and dachshund mix. When she told me about him I thought he'd be pretty strange looking but he's quite a handsome lad and can't wait to meet him in person. He's part of my "H" piece being angelic. I used a brand of canvas that has a coarser texture than I am accustomed to. Because the voids in the weave are bigger I was having difficulty getting things defined but I like the softer look it creates.  Thanks to Russ for generously photographing this one too. Acrylic on canvas, 16" by 20".
