Stella! Valentine Dog is Portrait #5 in 2011

I had to hold off posting about this painting of my dog Stella to keep it a surprise until after Valentine's Day. My husband had been wanting a portrait of Stella, who has been a member of our household for a little over a year now, but she had somehow escaped being committed to canvas -- until now.

This painting is 24 x 30 inch acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas.  I frequently leave collars and dog tags out of paintings, but since Stella really does have a dog tag shaped like a red heart I included it as an extra Valentine touch.
