Dog Portrait Painting

"Oxford" Pastel 14" x 11"

Meet Oxford!
His portrait was a fun one for me! I couldn't help but give him a bright contemporary background.  It seemed to match his personality and his debonair red bowtie.  What better way to show off his handsome black and white markings?!
Oxford is an adopted 3 yr. old Wirehaired Terrier Mix who loves having all his friends come over to play. Then for his quiet time he loves watching squirrels and looking for sunlight reflections.  Oh and he is a super snuggler!   :)
The portrait's contemporary look suits his owners, too.  They are a very cute young couple who lovingly call their scruffy little guy "Ox"!  This was a Christmas gift that was commissioned for them by a sweet friend.
