Custom Silk Painting of Karo the Dog

The latest silk painting that I was commissioned to paint was picked up yesterday. I had gotten used to having it around the studio and I think I shall miss seeing it. It was a painting of Karo the dog who apparently is a woodsy girl, perhaps even a bit of a tom boy. Her owner tells me that she has a fascination with all things that move and rustle in the leaves of the forest floor.

To see photos of this painting in process visit my Brattleboro Muse blog:
