Artist’s Thoughts: The first thing I thought about were the dogs eyes – how they are the windows to our souls. They just look at you and you melt – and they see you. They just know. A few of the breeds were chosen for my daughter – the ones I know that she loves the most! The others chosen were to make an interesting composition.There were a couple I was unfamiliar with – so I thought that it would be fun to paint them for the first time.

I wanted their eyes to be the focal point. And I also chose breeds based on their eyes – the color and oddness of their eyes..and differences of their hair etc. to create a balanced image. It was hard to choose since there are so many! But I had to make decisions, and I just love they way it’s turned out with the breeds I have picked. I wanted to make their eyes tight and realistic, then let the fur be a bit looser so they flow into each other.
