WHOA – 30X60. Axel (German Short Haired Pointer) and Panzer (Drathaar) flushing a Mississippi covey. Panzer was one of those once in a lifetime dogs whose hunting days were cut much too short. This painting honors him by showing him honoring Axel’s point, backing his buddy up, but always keeping an eye on the prize.
GRACIE – 24X20. A Wire Haired Pointing Griffon, comical and sweet. I was able to see where the painting would go, so I knew to play off the dark khaki greens and creams of the fabrics, along with the warmth of the wood tones in the room. Her “bed head” is entirely appropriate… she hangs in the master’s bedroom.
SCOUT 30X30. A rescued treasure, devoted and loyal. The owner surprised her college aged son with the portrait of what was surely a much missed friend
SLEEPY HEADS – 36X36. Baby the German Short Hair was always moving and rarely still. Paddy the Lab was always still and rarely moving. Together they would sleep in the sun.
COPPER DOG 24X20. Dogs throw some serious shade under our family tree. One of the best things we did as parents was to show our kids the love of a dog. This is our favorite son’s boy, Copper. He is as sweet as he is smart, and will open the fridge and fetch a beer if you’re thirsty.
SULA TIME – 20X24. The father and the son who hunt together, stay together. I am thankful my husband knew the value of spending time outdoors with us. This was a lazy fall day in Montana, walking around, looking for what was there, maybe even a grouse.
