A New Year's Resolution in 2024 was to paint dog portraits in an hour. That would be from initial sketch, to mixing paints, to the last brush stroke and signing my name...all in 60 minutes.
The name of this series is a twist on the name of the defunct business, One Hour Photo. But instead of obsolete film developing, the name of this timeless dog collection is One-Hour Doggos.
What you see here is progress towards the one hour goal. I have settled into a pace of about 4 hours for the dog portraits this year. Dakota and Ben are the most recent examples.
Stay tuned.
