Another painting in the Verdaccio series

Tis one of a large series I am doing of Monochromatic paintings in Verdaccio. Verdaccio is the grey/green with warm brown undertones that the Italian masters used for their under paintings. The only other color appears in the trees to put the focus on them.

This is one of my "Dog Portraits", a series I am working on.

Again, with my fake screen printing technique. I spent HOURS doing these, but it was all for a good cause. When the SPCA would hold adoption events at Petsmart and the like, people wouldn't always be able to tell which animals were pets and which were up for adoption. This was my cheap (free to them) solution. I didn't sew any of these vests or bandannas at the time, but I applied vinyl stencils and painted them (3-5 coats on each). At one point, over 50 dogs sported these in a parade in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan.

It was all a labor of love. I miss the SPCA of SW Michigan.
