| Joey, oil on canvas 16" x 20", 2010 |
This was a stealth portrait commissioned as a surprise birthday present. The secret remained so until the big unveiling (best birthday gift ever, so I'm told and was thrilled to hear), and now I'm free to post the painting without giving anything away.

| Joey, detail |
Joey is a handsome dog and I really enjoyed catching his characteristic pose--big grin, bright eyes, ears cocked, ready to play--in this traditional portrait. I believe that animals have personalities as distinct as people's and can make great portrait subjects.

The title and the painting made me think of "Good Dog Carl", the children's book :)
