The Inspiration
One of my favorite art shows is Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year. During these times they have gone live on Facebook challenging us to paint live sitters online and follow along with past winners from the show.
As soon as I saw Robert Rinder (a judge in the UK with a TV show similar to Judge Judy), pick up his dog Rocco, I knew I had to paint both of them.
Judge Rinder was so funny in the program when he was the sitter, that I had to go to youtube and watch some of the clips from his show.
