#3 "Chinese Crested" oil 30 paintings in 30 days

5x7 

Oil on gessoed board

 My #3 subject for the 30 paintings in 30 challenge is a Chinese Crested dog. Since I love painting dogs and I am drawn to some of the breeds you do not see much, I chose  the photo of this one that visited me years ago and never painted from this reference photo before. I can not recall his name and can not believe I did not list the name on the back of the photo. His owner was a customer of mine at the time but I never groomed this guy. He was very interested in everything in my yard including the birds.
