"Jake and Jack - A Kiss Behind the Ear" (12"X16", Oil on Canvas, SOLD)
I might be inclined to post this painting in with figure paintings that I've done, but I see it as a pet portrait that includes a squealing little boy. The buyer wouldn't go for a picture of just the dog, so I charged more and included the picture of Jack. I'm sure he looks completely different by this time. It was a big hit with the grandmother, who the commission was done as a gift for. I still have the effusive thank you note that the buyer sent me.
You can see the pup's cold wet nose pushing the boy's ear and making him squeal. Jake has a playful grip on Jack's coverall straps, and is still small enough to take Jack for another pup.
