LOUIE by Ruth Dolan

Cute boy lovely Ruth!

Stunning work, Ruth! Love it.

I find Labradoodles such funny dogs almost man made which I suppose they are . This chap / chapess has that sort of surprised look about him. I love that thick curly coat. He does tug at the heart strings.

Wonderful woolly coat, well done Ruth.

Thank you Linda and Thea. he was a lovely subject to paint.

Thank you Sylvia and Carole. They are fantastic dogs, very sweet natured with, I suppose, the best of both the Labrador and the Poodle.

Love the woolly coat depiction, really nice.

Very nicely painted Ruth, a lovely doggy.

What a cutey! I like the way you've painted his fur Ruth, very woolly looking.

This is gorgeous Ruth, I bet that fur was a challenge to do.

Thank you so much Andre and Margaret.

Thanks Val, he 's a woolly lad! I really enjoyed painting him, haven't done dogs for some time now...Ollie was the last but Louie is the latest.

Thank you Fiona...Yes, the fur was a challenge but I found it easier to do than I had thought, using a sort of impasto method over four underlay coats of paint.
