STORMY



This portrait of Stormy was painted in Angela Elledge's moleskin for the Texas Moleskin Round-Up.  Angela is a known dog lover and she paints beautiful dog portraits.  I thought Stormy would be a good addition to her book.  

Stormy was adopted by my three grandchildren, Abby, Ben and Asher after she was abandoned by her previous owner.  She is a sweet and very smart dog.  Although, when she proof read this post she didn't understand why I identified her as a dog!

I must add a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!  I had a wonderful holiday with family and am just now getting back to my normal (did I say normal?) routine.  I got up to the studio yesterday and I have to admit to being rusty after 3 weeks of not painting.  I've missed it and very happy to be able to work again. :-)

  3. Very cute painting of Stormy and I can see by the tight pull of his leash that he has a very curious personality.

  4. Welcome back Linda! Hope you haven't been up to any misdeeds—your new reputation is following you—Karin Jurick paints a pretty scathing portrait of you! Really like the strong value and contrast against your wonderful variety of grays in Stormy.

  5. Great post, Linda! You're developing such a distinctive palette and I love how you handled the shadow. Glad you're getting back into a routine, I feel the same way after all the holiday busy-ness.

  6. Hey Linda,
    Your painting is beautiful and I am excited to see my book on its return to me. In addition to everything that has already been said, I like the soft pink/peach tones you've painted in the background to compliment Stormy's gray fur. Now get busy and paint Stormy for Abby, Ben and Asher!! :-)
