Westie Oil Portrait Painting

I had to paint our sweet clean westie again! He is loving the warm weather today and drinking lots of water. After how many days of rain (which was great because I didn't have to water any of the potted perennials outside that need to go somewhere in the gardens) he can roll and run in the grass and not getting soaked and dirty.

The title of this painting is ''CHEERS.'' Westie is toasting the arrival of summer. I am happy too, but my metabolism needs to hike up a couple of gears to keep up with the greenery and garden outside. But I say "Cheers", too, just like our puppy.

"THE HAPPY ONE"

Westie Art comes from my westie and my heart combined. I try to get that westie personality which is the breed's top trait, I think. Every time I lean down towards puppy he meets me halfway with a kiss. So when I look down at him this is the look I always see. In this painting Westie has on a dandelion head lei-wreath. He doesn't have a problem with it because he's soooo happy to be with me.

The colors are light and the lighting was such that the light, shadows and reflections all collided and it made a beautiful sight to paint. The painting is a great collectible size 4 x 4-inches that can be displayed about anywhere to spread a little happiness.

Friendly Westie Painting Snow White

..........................4x4-inch original oil ...............

You do remember our westie doggy boy, Sir Salty, who has been a foot warming pal lately? Usually he runs ahead of us when we are outside, but when we had 1 1/2 feet of soft snow he walked behind us for a change. Every step we would take he would bump into us...body language for "go faster pal."

When we are inside he is right at our feet. In other words if we jump up and move we bump into him. Do you think he learned the bumping into someone trait from us? I had never thought of that possibility before today.

Our white westie looked like rich cream compared to the pristine blue-white snow. Now that the snow has melted he looks pristine white again outside. In fact, snow white. Thus the title of this new painting. The moss green is permanently in my subconscious. We have this LARGE, beautiful flower clay urn always on the table. Right now it has white pointsettas in it. It is permanent by the flowers and foliage plants rotate from large leaved hostas, anthiriums, shrubs (yes, it's a great place to display them before I plant them) and other living plants.

The design theory for small rooms is use large objects to make it cozy and seem larger. (Irony in design; don't you think? But it works!) Our urn is not quite the size of the table, but it is, yes, large.

You can see the oil paints came out to play. I believe my head, sinus and ear woes are gone so it's safe to use oils. For sale now on ebay.
