Pearly Whirly

Pearl was a miniature dachshund that was part of my parent’s household for many years.  Sadly, my little puppy-sister passed away last year. My folks do have two other dogs and a cute cat, but Pearl will be missed.    I called her Pearly Whirly, and I loved how she would snuggle with me in the morning when I visited.  My folks got up early, and I did not.  Apparently, Pearl wasn’t an early riser, either, so she would sleep with me until I decided to get up. My dad compiled a picture collage of pearly, and I thought it would be a good idea to give him a picture of Pearl for Christmas.    She was a butterball!  I painted just her head and my parents loved the painting Pearly Whirly

Below is the acrylic painting I did.  As with my other acrylics, I textured a lot and added lots of glazes.  This is the first picture I did of a pet, and I was happy with the results
