Yesterday I tackled a subject I had wanted to do for quite some time. I recognize him. Do you? :)

| Final version--you can see I changed and tweaked some details from the work in progress shown at the very top (ears, bridge of the nose, beard) |

| Three photos taken in three different rooms. Amazing how light affects colours! |
I have NO idea who this lovely dog could be ....

It's best. We don't want fame to go to his head. :)
DeleteOhh, he's lovely, i like the washes of his colours, it can't have been easy getting all those squiggly hairs, the really silky looking light ones must be hard! The light does make a real difference, the middle one looks more yellow for some reason? But the bottom one has the lovely colour of him. Good on you for tackling it. I think you've captured something of his character too!
ReplyDeleteI did a painting of a dog walking friends dog, for his 65th birthday, she passed away not long after, she was the same age as my pooch, I may put it on my blog soon, I blogged about them a while back. :)
Thanks so much, Julie. He's got so many crazy curls, I had to hold myself back and not put them all! The middle photo was taken in my studio with my lamp on. Quite a difference between the artificial and natural light.
DeleteKathleen, that is a fabulous painting of Meeko. You've caught his expression so well!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if I can manage to get this comment to you. I do better when my eldest daughter is nearby to fix my computer!!
You did just fine, Mom! :) Meeko sends his love. Me too.
DeleteDear Kathleen - you captured Meeko well - what a great piece of art of a wonderful subject. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie, from me and Meeko.
DeleteWhat a great series...Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Jo. (I think it's you.) It's only one painting for now but a series is a possibility if the model is willing. :)
