This is a
paintings of my dog Tara, a Shetland Sheep-dog. This is her alert pose
(when the Black Lab next door, Bear, is out, behind his fence, as Tara
is. You can be brave behind a fence! She has been in our family for 10
years and is our self-proclaimed watch-dog/protector - she thinks she is
vicious and is really just a pussy-cat...the sweetest little dog ever.
She might alert us if someone were around- Shelties are great barkers!,
and then take the invader throughout the house on a tour.
This painting is done in transparent watercolor on 140 lb. Fabriano Artistico cold-pressed watercolor.

Oh how beautiful, Barb! Wonderful to meet Tara and I love that background for her too.
Beautiful dog - beautiful painting!
You never ever cease to amaze and energize me to be a better painter! Love you!!
Sherry - I wish you could meet Tara in person - she is so wonderful.I got the idea for the background from Deb Watson's blog. She did a red fox in front of a dark blue/green background and I just loved it.
Vicki - thank you so much - your comment is an honor coming from you who I consider the "queen" of painting animals.
Donna - you sweet thing!!! You always make me feel good!
Love you too!
