Bailey Jane is such a darling girl. Having owned two Bichon Frises in the past I know how soft and fluffy their fur is, as well as how it shows rusty pink under the eyes. This was painted on an 8 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas in oils.
Commissioned as a Christmas Gift for her ‘mom’, you can imagine how happy I was to get this note:
Dear Elizabeth,
You captured the sweet spirit of Bailey Jane on canvas! The painting is magnificent! It looks just like her! Thank you so much for painting her and for sending the painting to me on Christmas Eve morning! There never was a more perfect Christmas Eve gift! I love it! I wish you the very best this coming year! I hope that we can get together this summer when I bring Bailey Jane for a visit.
This photo shows the colors better. I cropped it for a close up view. I love it, love it, love it! I was feeling tired before the package came! Now I am back in the Christmas mood and can get busy cleaning!
THANK YOU!
