Some Designs never go out of Fashion !

These are designs I painted/created between 2000-2003....they aren't flashy with very complicated boarders or patterns that seem the rage right now....I have a great love of dogs and cats , my aim was to create a dog or cat portrait that would give you a view of the personality ..... that something that every breed has that is unique.... a design that will stand the test of time....not seem dated.......just a very simple expression of the dog or cat......it is very easy to add a background stitch and counted boarder...my emphasis with animals is the most important aspect of these designs...I always start with the eyes ,nose and mouth...once you capture the expression ,then the rest of the dog just falls into place.....
