And here we have my very last Doberman portrait commission, and the only one of the breed in the red variation that I ever painted. I seem to recall Bailey was a rescue, and was lucky enough to be rescued by the owner of yesterday’s Doberman, so he had a good life because of that.

Painting a red Dobe is very different from painting a black and tan one. Except for the eyes, of course. Bailey had a pleasant expression in his eyes and I believe I captured it. Also adding to the difference is he’s not as shiny as Lexi from yesterday.

But he was a good boy, and isn’t that what really matters?
