From the album: Finoa's Art (Digital and traditional)
Done in Acrylic.
This painting is a blue tick puppy named Gus. My old man caught a picture of him sleeping between his boots like this and hired me to do a painting with the request I make it look more "Rustic" So I changed a ugly carpet to a fading painted porch (Painting your wooden porch is a thing in the South if you dont know... It looks nice for a year then it starts looking worn down and flaky... They are also super slick.. I dont suggest doing it.. Not unless you wanna paint it often or have a area rug from the steps to the door cause foot track wears them down fast).
I wish I could say I made the boots look dirty and scuffed up... But yah... Those boots look just like that. They were already scuffed up and covered in the red clay we have for dirt in the area.
The picture and painting matched pretty damn well so I was super happy. You can tell its a painting but it looks just like the picture and the old man was super excited.
Im actually going to display it at a local art show Nov 16 at the BB Comer Museum. If you live around here and wanna drop by, its free food, tons of local artist have stuff in. Just ask for "the girl that did the digital art over yonder" or the "Puppy and boots painting" Or just "The other Linda" (There are three of us.. The last director, the current director assistant, and then me. I always just say im the "Other Linda" because the first one is the "Last Linda"... xD It gets confusing fast. Not a common name, that place attracts the Linda's!) I also have several prints for sell, two digital pieces on display, and one of my watercolors will be raffled off with all of the money going to the museum.
Either way, make sure you say hi to me and Sal. ^.^
If you like this painting, I have 20 prints made to sell at $10 each plus shipping. It will be a limited edition because it was a commission and because the commissioner would like to keep the piece itself rare to increase the value of his. Print 1/20 has already sold. xD
