I just got back from a great wedding in California, so I am running a bit late on my post! I thought I would share some of my favorite dogs with you. This is my "niece dog"Mollie. I didn't realize doing a smooth black dog would be so difficult. I tried to incorporate a lot of color in the darks to make her shiny and sleek. The eyes were hard because I was using an iPhone picture with blue eyes and I was pretty sure her eyes weren't blue! I think the dog paintings are hard because they can be quite dull if the dog is sitting posed. I try to include something that is particular to them. I really wanted to get Mollie's little feet right.

My painting of Nora is probably my favorite. Things just worked really well on it without overworking. I think I really captured her puppy look. And I like the looseness of her chest and legs in relation to the details in her face.

Skylar was done first. I like the cool tones because I think they match her personality. I like her feet too. I think my skills have improved a little since I painted her. Now I need to do Chester so he won't feel left out!
