Cheeky Chihuahua

11x8.5 mixed media (watercolor, Caran D'Ache crayons, ink) on paper.  This fellow reminds me of a tiny Chihuahua I had growing up, a registered dog weighing less than 2 lbs, named Peanut.  After catching him peeing on my Barbie dollhouse, he found a new home with a neighbor, and I switched to cats.  This painting is featured on our new Tumblr blog, http://bowwowsandmeows.tumblr.com/ that Vernita Bridges Hoyt and I started recently, so check it out!
