An oil painting of Lukka done by a friend
This arrived today, it was painted by a friend of mine on another forum. A surprise gift to me!!!!
Keep in mind the canvas is only setting against the back of the chair (not framed yet) so you will see some distortion and also glare from a window close by.
The room it will hang in is grey/silver and black, with camel colored furniture so I think this painting will pop when hung in that room.

Such a beautiful painting! Really Special tribute.

This breed reminds me of our Norwegian Elkhounds.

again thanks for sharing your beautiful painting...I had no idea about Caucasian Ovcharka..had to look it up...
What a great breed of dogs...well I learned my new thing for the day!....Caucasian Ovcharka are a gorgeous breed...and nothing like Elkhounds...Elkhounds are midgets by comparison.

That is beautiful! To have such talent.... wow! It will be so marvelous to have her hanging on your wall. I think she will look good anywhere but the room sounds great too.
