Jazzy belongs to one of my best friend’s mother. She is a Soft Wheaten Terrier and they live in North Carolina. This is a portrait that she had commissioned for her mom for Christmas. I wish I had remembered to take a photo before I framed it so there wouldn’t be such a glare on the photo but here it is.

And even though it’s just a week til Christmas I still have time to paint a pet portrait if you order before Wednesday. Contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Gingerbread House for the Dogs!

The Main Street Daily Grind is holding a gingerbread house event. When you stop into the Grind please vote for mine! I hadn’t planned to enter one but my friend, Janet, is persistent so here is my entry.

I’m sure you are shocked to find that it is “dog” themed. The rules said it has to be eatable, but it didn’t say edible by whom!

Here is a close-up of the front. You can see the milk bones on the roof and over the door. There is even a note to Santa telling him that “I’ve been a good puppy all year”. Of course, that is NOT from Lincoln.

It was a lot of fun to decorated.

Now if you are at the Daily Grind please vote for this one! Thanks.

Betty’s Cheyenne, acrylic on canvas, 12″x12″.

When I did the “Bark for the Park” series there were 48 paintings so of course, there were some breeds that I did not paint. One was the Rottweiler. My friend Betty loves the breed and has had several so she sent me a photo so I could paint one. Thanks Betty.
