Painting Progression: Sun-Kissed Abby

Last week I finished a commission of a sweet chocolate labrador, Abby. This painting is a special anniversary gift and I had so much fun painting her! I was contacted by the client about a month ago when I had just finished painting "January Blossom". It was perfect timing as I was in-between projects!

We discussed what she wanted and set up a time for me to come photograph Abby. When I was photographing her, we had a comical time trying to keep her still. She is super spunky! We coaxed her to cooperate with some treats and sweet talk. She reminded me so much of my late yellow labrador, Buffy.
