A friend- Maria Kovalenko Leysens


This is a dog portrait I just finished for a commission. The story behind this dog is wonderful and the true meaning of a friend. Patient, loyal and always ready with a smile. I think we may know many dogs like this. I know my "Buddy" is. 8x10 inch watercolor.

Great 'Baby Seal Eyes' on the dog portrait! Makes me miss our Great Pyranees- with the same eyes.

Oh, the eyes are painted so well, Maria. And, the tongue, I can almost hear soft panting.

You have such a gift for capturing the spirit of the animal - this is wonderful!

Thanks, I have a soft spot for dogs... I guess we really paint what we love.
