approx. 5.5" x 16" nfsoil on gessoed moleskine
For Dana Cooper's moleskine titled Dreams and The Flying Moleskins blog, I chose to paint this beautiful retriever named Jolie. This is a preview for an upcoming memorial portrait I will be painting for Jolie's family. She was named Jolie Blonde after a very well known and beautiful Cajun song. There are many versions of the song Jolie Blonde and you can search ITunes to listen a bit. When I complete Jolie's official portrait, I'll tell you more about her and the joy she brought her sweet family.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and e-mails about the video I posted for my school. It is truly a special place, filled with the most wonderful people! Take care.

You captured Jolie perfectly. I can still see her on her favorite spot in my bed looking at me with those eyes.
Thanks,
Paige

Beautiful work Angela! Love your pups and your lovely Lake Martin pictures. We have a lake Martin in Alabama too. Big, beautiful lake.

This is precious. Really love the format. Beautiful painting. Dana's gotta love it.
What a sweet face. I like the elongated canvas and the placemnt of the Jolie.
Sweet, sweet painting!
I love the expressive way you used your brushstrokes to support her personality - so lively! I bet her family will Looooooove this!
Nice composition and color, Angela. She looks to have been about a great story. You have added so much character to this one.
