CrackerJack
8x8
Watercolor & Gouach
Primed Board

CrackerJack is almost 30 years old. I have had him since he was about 8. He is a bit hard to paint because he always looks grumpy these days. But, here the wind was blowing and he was focused on something in the distance. This painting was actually an experiment (and still is) of painting watercolor on primed board. I will let it to dry and then figure out a way to seal it. I am hoping to have a painting that will not have to be placed behind glass.

He's just taking his afternoon snooze.

Billy & Lilah
Watercolor & Gouache
Fabriano paper

Billy is part lab and part pit. A LabraPit or a PitAdor depending on the day or situation he finds himself in. Here he decided to round up Lilah then he had absolutely no idea what to do with her. He's looking to me for advice.
