A Potential Christmas Gift

     

     I want to try and make my Christmas gifts more personal, so for one friend I am going to try and paint her Bichon Frise with oils on canvas.  Someone suggested to me it is good to start with a black background, however I have decided that I prefer to work with a white background.

       Below is a photo showing the texture that I have been able to achieve with the oil paints.  The downside is that it will take a long time to dry.
