| "Strider" Acrylic on canvas Xan Blackburn previous back to portrait gallery next Strider's portrait was done as part of one of my occasional *Portrait Marathons. I'm a sucker for these older hounds, with the white creeping in to soften their faces. Strider adds this coy look, and I'm just a goner! *That's when I announce a first-come, first-served sign up, and paint small portraits of each pet as quickly as I can (not always that quickly!), until the alloted number has been reached or I run out of canvasses or time. There is always a donation made out of the proceeds for these marathons to a pet welfare organization I choose ahead of time. |
