Did I Swallow a Bug

Did I Swallow a Bug
Artist

Medium
Painting - Acrylic & Oil Pastel On Canvas
Description
I just happened upon a photo similar to this one. Of course, the colors I used were very different. I absolutely LOVE the little black and white dog that I created. And the little blonde Chihuahua...so cute. When I added the bright pink background, the painting came to life. My family has given me so many lines to use as a title: "Doggy Doctor", "Why Are You Yelling at Me?", "Do You See Anything?"... but, since I'm the artist, I went with "Did I Swallow a Bug?" You can call the piece anything you want as long as you say it's good!

This is fantastic! Thank you for donating to a worthing cause. I am a huge animal lover and I own two Chihuahuas. Great!!
Laura Grisham replied:
I just can't help but donate a few pieces now and then. If I can't give $$ I can at least help these causes raise some! As for Chihuahua's...we had one named 'Taco' when I was little, and he would try to bite you if you if he even thought you were going to touch my grandfather!
