Portrait of Ice

With all the house work, I haven't had much time for painting. I have done a little bit however. Here is a commission I recently completed. 'Ice' is a rescue. His current owner used to walk by where he lived, every day, and see him chained in the yard with a rut where he ran back and forth. One day his current owner knocked on the door and asked if she could take him for a walk, and then a few weeks later she asked if she could buy him. She's had him for seven years.
