Description

This is one of the most gentle dogs I have ever met in my entire life. This animal belongs to my brother. The gallery I work with in Knoxville, Tennessee did a fund raising event with the local pitbull dog rescue group. I painted this picture for the fund raiser. I feel these beautiful animals are very misrepresented. Any animal can become a raging beast if mistreated and trained to act improperly by the people responsible for it. Maddie, short for Madiline, is an extremely well behaved dog with responsible and loving owners. This painting was painted from a snapshot of Maddie taken when the young kitten snuggled next to her for a nap. Maddie adopted her like it was her own puppy instead of some stray kitten brought in off the street. I have since sent some of these as cards to the local animal adoption center to give out to those that adopt new pets. I would love to do more pet paintings by commission. I love to share that these beautiful animals are as tame and sweet as the people that care for them train them to be.
