Bichon Frise on the Porch

"Iris on the Sunny Porch in Rockport" (16"X12", Oil on Canvas, SOLD)

This painting shows my mother's friend Mary and her little Bichon-Frise, Iris. It was actually a commission from my mother as a gift for Mary. I did this in Rockport as Iris played on my mother's porch (You maybe able to recognize this bright red porch from an earlier post of a painting that was done from out in the yard).

Iris is such a cutie and likes to greet anyone who comes by and invite them to play. She likes to play 'chase'. I've always loved the endearing lamb-like appearance of Bichons and the density of their delightful fur.
