Charlie
The Howling
Beagle Pub

This
sign pictures Charlie, the howling beagle. It was painted
from a bad flash photo. I'm used to working with bad photos
and can usually figure them out. This sign has a black frame
around it because it is made from a thinner panel than I usually.
It is painted with oils and antiqued with a crackled finshed.
I was trying to minmize the weight since it was being shipped
to Europe. Either a 3/4" panel or a thin panel with a
frame can be used for a pub sign. Unfortunately, Charlie passed
away shortely after his portrait was painted.
Be sure you enlarge the painting so you can see it better.
"Brian
absolutely loves it, and all of our friends think it's terrific!
I can't thank you enough for doing such a fabulous job and
for being so easy to work with. It was truly a pleasure
collaborating on this with you." - AMF

"I want to thank you again for the beautiful Howling
Beagle sign you made for my husband's Christmas gift. Last
week our beagle Charlie suffered an injury and to our shock
his health deteriorated quickly and he passed away on Thursday.
We were not prepared to lose him at such a young age, he
was only 5 years old. I can't tell you what a comfort it
is to have the portrait of him howling at us to look at
during this difficult time. It means everything to us. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart for painting such a beautiful
portrait of my beagle baby". - AMF |
