Miniature Schnauzer Dog Art

"Skye with Bone"

Yesterday I talked about American Bulldogs, today I want to talk about Mini Schnauzers and my most recent Aussie client Skye. Skye looks adorable chewing on that tasty bone. This commission is a surprise Birthday gift portrait for Skye's Dad. He will get to choose his favorite proof to be printed. This portrait is a good example of how a special candid photograph can turn out really great as a painterly style portrait.

I have not had the opportunity to create very many Schnauzer portraits in the past 9 years however I have done a few Mini Schnauzuers that I am quite proud of. Last month I worked on Micah ( see below)
"Mod Micah"

My first Mini Schanuzer was a local Dallas pup named Fannie, and she was a real cutie pie.
"Fannie on Green"
I love this breed. Of course as a Scottie person I am fond of any pup with shaggy eyebrows and a beard. I see the Mini Schnauzers as sort of a less serious version of the larger breed. They just look like little wind-up toys, and I love their playful faces.

Jesus...you're blowing me away here! All three of these are just gorgeous, Rebecca. The "Skye with Bone" really cracked me up too. What a character! Beautiful work as always.
