CHLOE, the grand puppy
Chloe is a classic british bulldog- a face full of wrinkles, protruding teeth, saggy jowls and real attitude!  Enough looks to make even the toughest  bugler think twice!
Beneath the intimidating facade, is a cute happy-go-lucky puppy who is friendly, alert and bubbly. We took many photos of her to catch this bright side (a few shown above).

However her disdain for being restrained for the camera invariably resulted in a Churchillian scowl lacking only a stubby cigar! None of the resulting 20 or more photos were "perfect" but that's where the art comes in. I perked up the ears and opened up her right eye (left in image) to put Chloe in one of her better moods.


ORIGINAL PAINTING:

24" x 20" acrylic  on 3/4" clean-edge canvas.


GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.

Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well.  A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue -  dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
