This is Rothschild and he is an English bulldog. He is my Aunt Hattie's dog and I included him in one of my paintings for my HomeMade calendar. He has a brindle coat with lots of wrinkles and we think he is beautiful. Rothy is my submission for Illustration Friday's "wrinkles" theme.
p.s. below is an x-rated shot of Rothy, I know this might embarrass him but it is hilarious! He is happy to see his Mom.

Oh, and nice illustration as always Val, I guess I was distracted!

ReplyDeleteRothy is adorable...and rather uninhibited. I love your illustration of Aunt Hattie's house of honey with wrinkly Rothy right outside. The shadings and texture are wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHaha! I thought about drawing a bulldog but I did not have one. This one is cute and a bit proud :-). Your family must be so delighted that you paint their pets. That is such a wonderful and loving tribute.

Holy crap! Could Rothy be any cuter? I think our family is very lucky in the cute dog dept between Ratty, Louie, Rothy and Charlie (RIP)...
ReplyDeleteYou've never met Sasha (Rich's dog) but she's very cute too. And she's a lover not a fighter...
As always, I love the picture!!
