Simon Sitting  12x16  oils on canvas panel

This is Simon, our male Boxer looking at birds on our bird feeder. I tried to get a photo of him in a noble Boxer standing show-dog pose but he had other ideas - as usual. :-)

He's definitely a people oriented dog who thinks that he's a lap dog. He's 100% boxer and uses his "hands" to get more attention than he already gets.

His best friend is our Miniature Schnauzer, Bella. I'll be making a painting of her next.  Simon weighs close to 70 pounds while Bella weighs approximately 20 pounds. Nobody can convince Bella that she isn't the "boss dog".

Bella and Simon spend a large part of their day (and sometimes nights) in our backyard chasing our resident Chipmunk who is in NO danger from these two! :-)

This photo is quite fuzzy and I'll work at trying to make a better photo of this painting. SIGH!

  2. HI Irina! Happy New Year to you! This post is my first painting and post for 2011! Simon is truly "sporty", that's a fact. :-)
    He's very smart or cunning. I'm not sure which!

    Glad you stopped by - I've been looking at your posts haven't been leaving comments. Sorry. I'll do better now that the holidays are mostly past.

    Today is Melissa's birthday and we went out to a nearby restaurant serving "Latin" cuisine. Very good food and LOT of it. We bring some home every time and have that for our meal the next day(s). ;-)
