Blue Dog (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis

This is my lovely 15-year-old granddaughter snuggling with the family dog, named (of all things) “Blue.” Below is the reference photo, which was taken in their living room.

They all loved this dog and with good reason. He is cute, well-behaved, and a part of the family. I added the bracelets to the wrists because they were important to her, especially the FSY (For the Strength of Youth) one. Here is a photo of her holding the finished painting.

Here are a few photos of the painting as it came together.
