Live from Kathmandu: Finals from Megh Raj Thapa

Megh Raj Thapa is able to paint photo realistic images.  It is always a pleasure to work with him.

LukYi the Black Dog by Megh Raj

LukYi is a black pup with a direct gaze and beautiful glossy fur.  Megh Raj did it justice.

Breakfast the Black Dog by Megh Raj

Breakfast loves that yellow ball as much as the green one.   This dog has a nice smile and pretty white paws.

Molly the shaggy dog by Megh Raj

Molly's fur blends well with the background Megh Raj chose. And that pretty pink tongue.

Alvin the Yorkie by Megh Raj

Another nice portrait of 'Alivn' the Yorkie.

Matilda the pit Bull mix by Megh Raj

Matilda again pleases with that big grin   Megh Raj chose a black background to bring out her colors.

Mr. Peanut, a Domestic Short Hair, by Megh Raj

Mr. Peanut's portrait by Megh Raj brings out a softer side of this pretty black cat.

Ginger the Snake Cat by Megh Raj

Ginger is nicely captured and looks good against her pink background.

Sam the Yorkie by Megh Raj

Sam the Yorkie looks young and happy in this one.  Megh Raj likes subtle colored backgrounds, allowing the pet to shine.

 

Mozzarella the Papillion mix by Megh Raj

This is the third and final portrait of Mozzarella the Papillion mix.   Megh Raj got the details of his ears, making them look like string cheese!

 

Sumio the Tuxedo Cat by Megh Raj

Sumio the Tuxedo Cat has great whiskers in this portrait by Megh Raj.

Kahn the Black Chow by Megh Raj

Kahn the Black Chow is so dramatic and magnificent.  He definitely fills the frame with his leonine fur.

Moxie the Yorkie/Affenpinscher mix by Megh Raj

Moxie, again with the pink background, inspired by his blanket!  The artists all had fun with his hair

Zora the Border Collie mix by Megh Raj

Zora, an enlightened black pup.  She has a nice smile in this one.

Schwazie the Dachshund Beagle mix by Megh Raj

Schwazie has beautiful eyes and a very direct look.  

Beezus the White Shepherd by Megh Raj

Beezus the White Shepherd is a Denger Dog in this one.   Megh Raj captured his softer side.

Bodhi the Shepherd/Hound Dog by Megh Raj

Bodhi by Megh Raj has a different look than the two previous incarnations.  It will be good to see them all at once.

Bernie the 3-legged Pit Bull by Megh Raj

Bernie shines again in this portrait by Megh Raj.

By the way, the chalk marks are just how Megh Raj aligns his lettering.  I leave them on so that people can see the method  They are easily wiped off.

Live from Kathmandu: Finals from Dilip Niroj!

Matilda the pit Bull mix by Dilip

Matilda the Pit Bull Mix has a big gummy smile in her portrait by Dilip.  The sign was supposed to say "Be Aware of This One", but, as you will see, Dilip has a mind of his own as to lettering.

Buzzy the Shih Tzu by Dilip

Buzzy the Shih Tzu looks good with a red background.

Carmen the Doberman Pinscher by Dilip

Mozzarella the Papillion mix by Dilip

Mozzarella, our first Danger Doo, also has stunning ears.  Dilip, I believe, is dyslexic.  Once he painted a Rottweiller with the lettering Enlightened God!

Juno - A Boxer/Pitbull mix by Dilip

Juno, a charming Boxer and Pit Bull mix, looks fantastic in Dilip's portrait.

Kahn the Black Chow by Dilip

Kahn, a Black Chow, has a lion-like mane -- a cloud of fur.

Sumio the Tuxedo Cat (in English) by Dilip

Bernie the 3-legged Pit Bull by Dilip

Bernie, a tripod Pit Bull, looks comfy on his plaid blanket.

Schwazie the Dachshund Beagle mix by Dilip

Schwazie the Dachshund and Beagle mix is sitting on a swirl of color.

Moxie the Yorkie/Affenpinscher mix by Dilip

Last, but never least, is the adorable Moxie.  Well named, Moxie has that terrier tip of her head, so well captured here.

Final works from Jit Gurung and Shree Lamachhane

New works are starting to come in from Jit Gurung.   Jit is a well-known artist working in Nepal's second largest city: Pokhara   

Juno - A Boxer/Pitbull mix by Jit Gurung

Juno strikes a casual pose in the first of 3 portraits and shows off her sidelong glance.  Jit is an illustrator and cartoonist, and that shows in the simplicity and clarity of line.

Delilah the Boxer by Jit Gurung

 Delilah is sitting on her dogfriend Cowgirl's bed and floating in the sky surrounded by clouds.

Buzzy the Shih Tzu by Jit Gurung

Buzzy the Shih Tzu looks out on the world with shining eyes and admirable lashes and brows in his first portrait by Jit.

Tuxedo Cats by Shree

These 3 cats rest on a blue carpet in their portrait by Shree.  Shree has been working in S. Korea for the past 10 years and the 3 paintings here mark his return to the Danger Dog project.  He was a sport about restocking paints and brushes after all these years.   Those 10 years of remittance work gave his son a chance to become a civil engineer, his daughter to finish 12th form and his wife to run a small departmental store.

Mozzarella the Papillion mix by Shree

Mozzarella, the Papillion mix.   Her portrait by Shree returns to Shree's earlier style that I found so charming when I first came across him in 2008.  He always placed his dog in Elysian fields and was the only artist I have worked with that already had existing Beware of Dog signs in his shop.

Bodhi the Shepherd/Hound Dog by Shree

In Shree's portrait of Bodhi, the Shepherd Hound mix, he replaces the rug with a fanciful round pillow.  Shree likes to redecorate a bit.  Once he turned a beige couch into a pink and yellow confection, with an Italian Greyhound as an odalisque.

Please stay tuned for more works in progress and finals to come! If you would like to have your dog (cat, horse, chicken, bunny, bearded dragon, etc.) immortalized on metal here in Nepal, it is not too late.   

I will be back in the US in early May, in time for Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts.
