Here’s my latest painting, Laughing Doberman. She’s a beautiful red doberman bitch with loads of character and I loved painting her.

Laughing Doberman
20×16 inch acrylic on canvas board

The original photo of her was taken by Cia Lindroth who is a truly gifted photographer of animals. See her work on her web site www.cialindroth.se. I was thrilled when she gave me permission to use her photo as a reference for a painting. Thank you Cia!

And here’s a close up of the canvas….

This hasn’t made it as far as the easel yet, it’s still in the ideas stage. Alfie, a Bengal cat and Ailsa, a Doberman live with Kathryn and their other feline friends. I really like this pose of the two great friends but haven’t decided on the background yet.

And here they are as the finished acrylic painting.
