Painted dog

Comments

Really like this, blending into the background, very effective.

You have got great expression in the eyes. I love the round ear - just as they are in reality. The paper surface adds to the portrait too.

Very much like this, fabulous use of colour

Superb piece. I like how you emphasized the essential features with just the right amount of detail.

This is super!

All your comments are really encouraging - I'm glad I stopped at this stage and resisted the temptation to push it any further.
