Peaches, 14x11 watercolor painting by Stevie Denny

Peaches

14x11 watercolor painting

on 140# Fabriano Artistico paper

I painted this from a photo of my dog, Peaches, during the time I took classes from Kim Johnson-Nechtman last year. Peaches was one of a kind --a gentle, loving dog who loved everyone. She lived for 17 years, and although Peaches has been gone for over ten years, I miss her every day.

Study for Commission Acrylic on Canvas Paper

This is a sketch/study for a commission I am painting for a dear friend.  Always good to do a study before the painting.  It gives you some idea of values and colors to use before the real painting.  The commission will be done in oil on gallery canvas.

Price $400

Big news!!! I won Best in Show with this painting at the Gilbert AZ Constitution Celebration. I wanted to show the emotional relationship between soldier and dog. I was given permission to use a photograph on Kevin Hanrahan's web site. Please visit his site and read about these amazing teams. He gives updates on deployed teams and their experiences. I don't think most of us understand the trust that has develop between these heroic partners. 

Please visit his web site at: http://khanrahan.com/   

 

The Best in Show prize was $250. I am donating 100% to US War Dog Assoc. If anyone would like a print of this painting or the original,  please contact me. Also, 100% of the sales of prints or the original will go to the same organization. Not sure of the print prices yet. Will keep you informed.

I entered this same painting in the Gilbert Visual Art League February 2014 Show.  I won the People's Choice Award.  I am thrilled with the response.
