Trixie by Sarah Boardman

Its lovely Sarah youve caught him so well.

What a beauty. Excellent work.

Another incredible painting, precise and yet full of life and character.

Songshi Quan - puffy-lion dog is the Chinese name for him and how leonine this one is. You have really captured the regal expression. Such a pity that the temperament of this noble breed has become so mistrusted these days.

Thanks Diana - how interesting! This one, Trixie, was a lovely dog - quite sweet - but her fellow pack members (3 of them) are as you speak, and won't let a person near the house. I think that is why Trixie got her portrait painted, as she was a sweet dog. I agree that in general, you are right. What a shame. I will keep this name - Songshi Quan - in my folder. It sounds so nice and gentle ... !

Sarah, Please upload all your dogs, I am sure everybody will enjoy them - they are so adorable, and everyone has highlighted personality.

Thank you Valia, for your support. I will upload them tomorrow, happily :)
