BUDDY & IZZY

11x14 oil on canvas sold

I received several photos to work from for this portrait. In each photo sat Buddy, ever proud, faithful and solid as a rock and then there was the other little guy, Izzy! Izzy was all over the place in the shots and I could not help but think of him as a child's toy. Wind Izzy up and watch him pop up out of the bluebonnets! Speaking of bluebonnets, soon we will have fields of the most beautiful display of Texas wildflowers, a gorgeous sight to behold. Take care and if you're on Spring Break, as I am, I hope you are having a great start to this beautiful Spring season.

Gosh but that Buddy looks so regal and is one fine handsome fellow! I suspect Izzy might enjoy ruffling his feathers a bit! Beautiful painting, Angela. So good to hear you are on spring vacation and can hopefully rest up and have some fun.

I love this! I'm a sucker for bluebonnets and those two look relaxed and happy to be in the middle of them!

I enjoyed this lovely portrait even more after reading your post. It tells so much about their personalities. It shows so wonderfully in little Izzy's playful look and Buddy's solemn resolve. Great painting!
