Spike & Ruby, 2 American Bull Dogs, by Jake Beckman 

Spike and Ruby is an original acrylic 18 inch x 23.5 inch painting on cold press 140 lb watercolor paper. The paper has been treated with gesso on both sides to enhance its durability. "Spike and Ruby", by Jake Beckman, is a portrait of two real American pit bull terriers, Spike and Ruby. Ruby cocks her head and beams at the viewer with her bright yellow eyes, while Spike looks on quizzically. The predominant colors are the cinnamon coat, nose and eyes of Spike, the pale sable coat and bright yellow eyes of Ruby, and shades of grass green. The Work is signed by the Artist "Jake" in the lower right hand corner. On the back of the work the title and date of creation are noted in paint; the FAR Tag  No. 17468 is placed in the region behind the signature on the back of the canvas. The work is federally copyrighted. Reproduction and publishing copyrights are retained by the artist. Images are not to be copied, re-distributed, imitated, derived OR otherwise used in any form without the explicit written permission of the artist.

I painted Spike and Ruby at the request of their owner. He supplied me with a several images of the dogs. I used PhotoShop to arrange a pleasing composition from these photos, which the owner then approved.  I will not make any prints of this picture unless the owner one day asks for it. I am supplying it here so you, my patrons, can get an idea of what I can do with a few photo graphs, just in case you ever decide you want an 18x24 inch portrait of a person or pet. -Jake
