"Oliver" portrait of a Sheltie

6"x6"

Oil on Panel

Sold

What a joy it was to paint this handsome Sheltie, Oliver! He's just over a year old, but appears older to me because he looks so regal--just a stunning dog! Shelties are formally known as Shetland Sheepdogs and are small to medium-size, hardworking little guys.

One of the best dogs I have ever owned was Shetland Sheepdog. He was super smart and obedient. I could step out on my porch and ask "Jesse, where are the girls?," and he would go zip off after my daughters when they were small and herd them back to me.

About Me

I think I was about six when I received a paint-by-number set for Christmas--complete with the old enamel oils and stinky turp! I was hooked and have been painting and drawing ever since. Over the past 30-odd years of being a professional artist, I have primarily worked in relief printmaking, drawing and oil painting with an emphasis on landscape and figurative work.
