Elijah



Oil on panel, 8x6"

This is our dog; he has Perfected the manipulative "why not" look, as in "Why can't I go?" "Why can't I have more treats?" "Why isn't it time for a walk?" etc. When we give him a serious "No" he droops - ears, tail, and everything in between. Then he sulks. On the other hand, he has also perfected the Snoopy "happy dance" when the answer is "yes". He's a great dog :-)

I love this painting. Everything is wonderful about it. A handsome dog (and I like his name)! Wonderful job. ;-)

He really does have that "why" expression. Love the way you captured it!

Oh, I love this. I have two dogs with rubber faces that keep me in hysterics.
