Sadie and Murphy (Irish Water Spaniels)

--Sadie and Murphy ~ Irish Water Spaniels--

Pyrography on basswood. 11 x 14

The first of two commissioned portraits of Irish Water Spaniels (the other is C.J. by the Seashore). I was able to hang out a bit with Sadie and Murphy prior to the pyrography which was a huge perk.

Getting to know the personalities of animals is a great help to getting a wood burning to come to life. I learned that Murphy (on the right) bounds around with joyful abandon. Sadie is a little shy and aloof, but mischievous. She is never too far behind Murphy and loves to follow his lead.
