Yolanda

Finished my latest commission. Acrylic on canvas portrait of a rescue Pitbull named Yolanda. My client wanted a ‘nautical’ theme so I opted for an anchor wallpaper and added sailboats to her bowtie. I did use some spray paint for the background for texture. Really enjoyed this painting and can’t wait to see it at its new home.

I did this piece for a friend as a gift. I painted over another piece and took advantage of the texture, which is one of my favorite things to do. Used very quick brush work and kept a light and loose approach. I’m happy with the result. I hope she is too…
