A commission that was given as a gift. I have never met this dog and worked from photos that weren't ideal but it was a good challenge and I'm happy with the results and more importantly, so was the client. Painting the toy was a lot of fun and I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it was such a goofy-looking object and I was doing a realistic depiction of it. Acrylic on canvas, 12" x 9".

Rosie, aka Rosita Conchita Morita, was my niece's beloved chihuahua that graced the planet for about 13 years. I did   a number of paintings of her. This one is 8x10, acrylic on canvas. It took a few tries but I finally got the feeling of her spirit in this one.
