I remember seeing a picture of a Schnauzer hanging over my best friend's aunt's sofa when I was a kid.  The dog had long passed and the Aunt
still had teary eyes when she recalled the special dog that he was.  We had a friend of ours who does art for a living paint a picture of Daisy.
It hangs up high on our wall and what a painting it is!  At night when the lights are low, it really comes to life.  I am so glad that
we have Daisy to watch over us for all time.  I would love to be able to paint like that.  Dogs would be my favorite subject.
ha, what do I mean would??  Dogs are my favorite part of life!!!

I dont have any painted ones of my dogs. I have been thinking about it though, and would really want to get it, the problem I have is that I have had so many dogs and still have so I dont even know where to start, I want them all lol...

I do have several big framed pictures of my dogs though.

And nope, I dont have any poker playing pups either hehe

We like dog art too, I have bought paintings and pictures and recently we got into wood burnings, a friend of ours does them and we sell them from our web site.  the better the picture the more the detail, he whipped ours out in 15 minutes each as a "rough draft"  and gave them to us.

This is my girl.. she just lost her batle with Cancer last week at the age of 10.  She was very happy still and the biggest lover I have ever met.  She will always  be my girl.

I'm sorry to hear about your puppy.  It's so sad to loose a good friend like that.

I am so very sorry. Just remember that you have not lost your girl, she is still with you in your love for her.

My mother finds paintings of people, such as in Victorian garb, then she paints her weiner dog's faces over the people's faces and they make these great, dignified dog paintings for her hallway.

I want to try that some day.  It's kind of funny, but I think it can be a great conversation piece with these seemingly serious dogs hung up all over to accentuate the rest of the decor.
