Best Buddies, a Painting of Two Golden Retriever Puppies
This is my painting "Best Buddies", oil on 14" x 11" archival panel, which I completed during the past year. I wanted to try to capture that trusting love puppies seem to have with each other. I am excited to announce that this painting is now available as art...
Portrait of Thai Completed
Thai, a Havanese by Hope Lane, 8 x 10" acrylic Here is Thai's portrait all finished. Painting this sweet Havanese was so much fun--and it was doubly nice to know that the donation of his portrait could help other animals too. It took quite a while (and many little...

Finished Portrait of Three Havanese
Gigi, Elmo and Trubble, 24" x 18" Oil by Hope Lane After completing Elmo, I went on the add the other two dogs, black and white Gigi, and little Trubble. I had to combine two photos for Gigi in order to show her white and black top knot. I particularly enjoyed...
Elmo, The First Little Havanese
