Meet Scout! He came to us in March 2012 when his owners had to find a different home for him. Although he was very sad to lose his family of 8 years, from day one he accepted us as his new family. He is a lover and sensitive soul - yet a fearful dog of the world about him. We took him to an animal communicator who said he "just wants to find peace and know where he belongs". Well it was obvious to us that he belongs with us. We will work with him to give him more confidence and gain peace.
face emerges on the canvas
His eyes are beautiful and when he is happy, they almost glow like sunlight through a chocolate tootsie pop :) I wanted to capture him on canvas so I painted a pet portrait.
almost done
revealing his portrait to Scout and Gracie
Scout seems pleased with the results!
A theme song always seems to emerge for my fur kiddos. The theme song he came with is, "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley. "... I will leave my heart wide open. I will love and have no fear... "
I did a painting of Dudley and found it was a nice way to remember him. Painting him required that I recall all the minuet details of his fur body. He had thin patches where the skin showed thru and some of his fur had a maroon tint. It was nice bringing his painting home in the car - almost as if he was riding on the seat next to me. Gracie liked the painting too.
