"Penny" the friendly Pit Bull

This is my latest Dog Portrait. Penny is never without a tennis ball, so it wouldn't be her if I painted her portrait without the ball in her mouth.
If you have a wonderful dog or pet you love and have always wanted a painting done of them, just contact me for prices.
