Westie Portrait Painting in Oil, Winner of Westie Rescue of OC & Beyond Charity Auction


(Westie of Rescue of OC & Beyond Charity Auction Winner,
8"x10" oil on stretched canvas,nfs)

With our recent move among other things, I fell a bit behind in commissions but was finally able to get this piece finished for the winner of the past Charity Picnic/Auction held by Westie Rescue of OC & Beyond. I wanted the focus to stay on the Westie in this piece so I made sure to keep the banister a bit of a muted shade of white such that the Westie would in many ways 'pop' out of the painting. I may replace the photo in the next day or two as it is quite windy here in Michigan and I don't want to risk taking this piece outside to photograph as it is still wet. If you would like to have a portrait done of your precious pup, drop me an email!

  1. Hi Lara, I received your painting yesterday, and I just love it! I can't believe how well it picks up the colours in my cabinetry.
    I am at the cottage now, but will post pictures of it on my blog on Monday.
    You are very talented, and I know I will be collecting more of your pieces.
    I absolutely adore this little piece!

    Cheers,
    Donna

  11. Well thank you very much!I do enjoy painting the pups and helping dog rescue!Both of our 2 dogs were rescued off the streets of Cairns in Australia...there are sooo many dogs waiting for forever homes, and even if people want a pure-bred dog these days they can find anything they want at any number of shelters across the US! :o)
