These are some photos and
paintings of my dog Schmoquee who was the inspiration for
BigDogGalleries.
Unfortunately Schmoquee's
life was cut short due to cancer and he passed away in May of 2005.
He was a wonderful dog and companion and will never be forgotten.
Here he is posing next to
one of the first watercolor paintings I ever did of him.
I have never painted this
photo of Schmoquee but it's one of my favorites.
This is one of my favorite paintings
of Schmoquee. He had an itch one day and I was helping
him scratch it. I took a photo with my other hand and was lucky
enough to capture his expression and body position perfectly.
Schnitzel
& Schtrudel
We adopted Schnitzel (left),
a blue Weimaraner from the
Colorado Mile High Weimaraner Rescue in January of 2009. He was
rescued from a kennel in Kansas and was about 14 pounds underweight when
we got him. After a couple of months he was back to his normal
weight and is doing fine. He is one of the family now and has turned
out to be a wonderful dog.
Schtrudel
(right) is also a Weimaraner and was adopted from the Rescue in September of
2009. Both Schnitzel and Schtrudel get along great and have become
best friends.
