Dog Parade Wednesday The PUG

The adaptable, good tempered PUG is a favourite of nearly every dog lover. The Pug is a member of the TOY GROUP, but he never sees himself as a tiny dog. Their charming faces and confident stance have won fans, inspired artists, and gained the favour of Royalty for centuries. Pugs are highly intelligent, companionable little dogs, and they excel as pets. The sturdy Pug is a very old breed whose origins are somewhat hidden in the mists of time. While always popular, it reached a zenith of popularity during the Victorian age, and its image appeared in paintings, as decorative ornaments, and even on housewares. Today, it is still popular, fitting as easily into an apartment as it does into a country house.
Wherever he lives, the Pug quickly becomes a loved and loving family member.

Today’s painting is an Original Miniature Watercolour, measuring just 3.5 x 2.5 inches, and it comes with a 5 x 7 inch mat. This delightful little Pug painting is only $40. shipping included, and anyone interested in it can contact me at:

Mini Set

This week, as I mentioned on Twitter, I decided to do a set of miniature paintings – a Pug, a Cavalier, and a cat, to take to the Gallery, if they haven’t sold before I get there. (I can always do more!) These are all 2.5 by 3.5 inches, and painted in the round in Acrylics. By “Painted In The Round, I mean that the sides and back of these tiny paintings are part of the painting. They will be exhibited on small easels painted gold.

On Monday, I all but finished the Pug, putting the final details on it on Tuesday. This is the second in my “Brown Eyes” series of miniature Pug Paintings. The first one is sold.

Wednesday, I drew the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Cat. Yesterday, I finished them both.

These tiny things are fun to do, and while miniature, I still aim to get the details correct and a good expression on the little faces.
