I did this as a surprise for my brother tomorrow and I literally CAN'T WAIT for him to open it. Sometimes I think it's crap and sometimes I think I nailed it.I used a good friends' pug as my model, a pic I grabbed off Flickr. If you know Brad, we have a love/hate relationship with pugs in general, and the more we work them into conversations, photographs, etc. the better. So, him opening a little 10x10 painting of a pug portrait is priceless.
Aaron and Kate, thank you for inadvertently lending me Mao for this project. I can't say there is any resemblance, but there is a dog here, that Brad can imagine is a pug, and Mao is always around in spirit as a pug we really do enjoy.
He looks so worried, as if he's not sure how Brad is going to judge him.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! He's pleased he could come in handy!
I think the direct quote in response from my brother's wife was, The only way we can top this is a live pug. xoxo friends!

ReplyDeleteTony: Send me a pic of Elvis, and sometime when I'm wondering what to do with myself, I'll make you a present. Wait, your birthday is next week right?
