Just finished this portrait of one of my sister's dogs standing on her glass-topped white wicker kitchen table, beside some flowers in a bottle, looking out the window, with a hummingbird feeder in the yard, etc. It prompted my sister to observe that, since I've painted several portraits of this particular dog of hers (he's Harry -- she has two others), he must be my "Muse". Maybe, although I've always considered myself more of a "cat person"...
It's an 11 x 14 oil. I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed; the background behind the canvas may be distracting (books and other things), but there was no good light by the window today, as it's overcast outside. As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.
