He will love you Jim! A great rendition and I like the 'in your face' face :)

Love this Jim. His eyes ARE gentle.

Stunning dog portrait Jim. I think this dog is very lucky to have a good neighbour who strokes him and gives him treats.

And you have captured that good nature.

Thanks all (obviously dog lovers (-:). Painting lets you show characteristics as you yourself see them in ways that Photograph/ formal portrait, can't always do. That's what I've tried to do here. He's a real-life fella and I really took to him from the start.

I really like this piece, Jim. Fabulous loose brushwork and so full of personality. It's superb.

All the mums and kids passing o their way to our local school and nursery keep well away from him, which is sensible with kids. Alfie has a go at him over the gate daily, but when I go up to him on my own he jumps up and loves a stroke (and a biscuit, which gets me in trouble with my wife who say the owners may not like it. I can't ask them as they are Polish and don't speak much English, but he understands "Good boy". and his stroke. He really is a lovely fellow.
