Dachshund Beach at Sunset
The glory of the
setting sun is one of the most captivating aspects of living in Southwest
Florida. The sky in all its majesty literally glows most every evening in
brilliant oranges, yellows, various shades of blue, and almost indescribable violets.
It is both awe striking and humbling. The sky can be so dazzling that drivers
pull over on their commute home just to gawk into the Heaven above. It was
exciting to be commissioned to paint a beach scene with the sky lit as sunset.
But then came the added request of painting in the homeowner’s miniature
dachshund into the scene. Oh, my gracious, what a sweet little puppy. Bonnie is just barely a year and a half old and full of wiggles and puppy kisses. Which made
having her sit for posing – um, interesting, let’s say. A few photo snaps were
managed enough to have something to work by. It was a great way to start this
year’s mural series.
This is little Bonnie

The overall scene is calm with a heavy clouded purple sky with orange flashing across the horizon :
