Ozzy is a dog that lives in New York but I’ve never met him. A friend of mine who’s a photographer took his picture. Everytime I looked at the haunting black and white photo of Ozzy, the picture called out to me, urging me to paint him. When I was able to have enough time to, I would paint Ozzy. I consider a painting particularly successful when I put colors combinations together that I never have previously. This was the case with Ozzy. My original painting of him sold before I ever had a chance to frame it or display it in a show. He’s is one of my best selling prints and one of my all time favorite dog paintings that I have ever created.
