My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon!

This is Ranger
Ranger is owned by a minister that is being transfered out of her parish to serve in another community in Southern California. This is a going away present from her friends that all 'congregate' at the dog park with their dogs.
Great expression! Another awesome Pet Portrait, Shelia. You just get better and better all the time! Love that soft brown next to the turquoise background.
Great Sheila, dogs have that expression of loyalty and contentment on their face so much of the time and you've captured this is your painting. I'm curious what you have done with the large canvases you posted a few days back? That looked like a fun project (maybe I missed a post).

I completely agree with Gwen here.
This pet portrait not only turned out beautifully but "Ranger" is one of your strongest dog paintings yet!
Nice balance of realism and illustration. Strong anatomy and wonderful close-up composition.
Very well done! Be proud of this one!!
