Jack the Jack Russell

When going through some old photos, I found this one among several of him and his roommate, a Dachshund.  Years ago I did a pastel portrait of the two of them.  Unfortunately, I don't have their names but I am going to call him Jack.  You may see his buddy later.  Thanks for looking. 

As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Dude

While painting this kitty, I kept wondering what I would have named this boy.  I decided on Dude aka "The Bruiser".

As with all my paintings, a final coat of semi-gloss acrylic varnish is applied to give further enhancement and protection.
