Dog Portrait: Not Ruby

not Ruby fan art, 2010 8x10 oil on canvas board.

I made this painting based on a photo that I assumed was Ruby, Georgia W. Tush's iconic Boston terrier and the inspiration for the logo to her great new Roller Derby shop Neon Skates (in the back of Local 23, at 23 Bernard, Montreal). I found the image on the store's website, so jumped to conclusions about the model - painted this little guy and clandestinely tacked the painting onto the wall of the shop. It turns out, it's a customer's dog - so I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board and do one of Ruby to make up for this grave error. Man, you can't even make assumptions about dogs.
