Mr. Smith, Pet Portrait

Here is the charming, Mr. Smith, the little soulful dog. Today's daily painting was painted over a couple of days. It is a 24" x 24" oil on canvas and a surprise Christmas present. Occasionally I do pet portraits, they are great fun to do. I hope to capture the look and a bit of the personality of each pet.
