oil painting of headshot of a white dog looking away from viewer
“The Protector,” Johanne Mangi, oil on linen board, 14 x 11 in; available Centerpiece Gallery, Raleigh NC; $3700

Johanne Mangi: The Protector was juried into the Oil Painters of America’s October Eastern Regional Exhibition in Raleigh, NC. This painting was originally created as a demonstration piece for a Magazine. I chose this particular subject because of her confident demeanor. I was able to observe and take color notes from life of this dog which is a key component to my work.
