Sheldon

"Sheldon" 8x8 oil on board

All about Sheldon.

I just had to paint him, he looks a little sad. Erika my long distance friend will be fostering him until he finds his forever home.
He was a bit tricky to paint with long hair and many colours in his coat. Dogs eyes are very expressive and one of the main reasons to take time to get that part right. 
I have managed to paint quite a few rescue dogs of different breeds. It is fast become a passion, just looking at the sadness in their eyes can almost turn me to tears they are definitely the source of the soul. You can see how much they want a place to be their own and to be loved.
