My parents adopted a toy poodle a couple years back and they just love him like a new born baby. Introducing "Max".....A fairly new addition to the family. I guess that makes him my....brother? Cool.
My mom has been dropping hints forever....for me to sketch lil' Max. I thought I'd surprise her with this huge painted bowl for Mother's Day. Shots out to the United Postal Service in delivering this in one piece (wiping the sweat from forehead).
Thank you so much for your comment! I ´m happy that the illo don´t need explanations! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI like your dog!!!
Wait till they start calling you by the dog's name (happened to my husband). Love your animated avatar!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit!!! I have a new dog, and it is like your draw..ha,ha..
ReplyDeleteNice sketchs!!!
Wow, what a lucky mother you have! Terrific painting.
ReplyDeleteWow Gerald, this makes a mighty fine gift! It's a beautiful drawing and little pooch. I used to have a prejudice against poodles until I actually met one-some of the best dogs around.
ReplyDeleteLinda ilustración...
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Aww...looks like a sweety. Great bowl! Now is this the dog's dish, or theirs? ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome gift!!! and I have to say, im pretty surprised it survived the shipping - I've already had a bad experience with that.
ReplyDeleteIs it glaze one clay?
Thanks everyone, for the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteAmelia - I should have specified it was a huge dinner bowl for the dining room. hahahaha. The photo really makes it look like a small drinking bowl :P
Paul - Shipping is always scary if not packaged well. Check out the layers of bubble wrap...I did buy insurance (just in case).
Glaze on ceramic? Yup, it took about 4-5 days for the paint to dry , add glaze and fire it up in the kiln.
I hope everyone tries painting ceramics one day.
Wonderful work! Congrats on your new... brother! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love!!!!!!!!!!!
