Cesar Millan’s Greyhound Oil Painting – Argos

My most recent oil painting is of this beautiful, stately Greyhound, Argos.  This guy was rescued by Cesar Millan and brought back to the United States.  The story goes that in Spain if the greyhounds don’t win, they break their legs.  Apparently this dog did not win. So this poor guy hobbles around with his front lame leg.  I met Argos when I was at Cesar’s Dog Psychology Center several years ago.  Argos was timid (understandably),  but had a lovely personality.  I was able to take a few photos of him and recently completed this profile portrait. This is a 12″x 9″ oil on a canvas board, and I had some fun with color.   I have another shot of Argo with a happy smile and will be working on that portrait soon.
