The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

As a first attempt at drawing - never mind painting - a dog (or pet in general) I suppose it's not too bad but I'm disappointed.

I was also trying to get an impressionistic vibe going but frankly, I haven't the faintest how to do that. So everything is heavy handed and the form suffered. Plus it's a strange perspective and I'm not sure which body parts go where from the photo and I think, looking at it here, I failed to put them right. oops.

Can't win them all. It's recognizable as Winston but it won't be hung on anyone's wall.

You win some, you lose some.

Will I try again? ehnn - one day maybe. It wasn't as much fun as splashing sunlight on water.

Sorry Winston. I still love you. Good dog.

Aw, you captured his SOUL! I think it's a beautiful portrait.

I like him. You got his markings beautifully and Ms. Moon is right - you can see his soul in his eyes. Not easy to catch.

I think he's kinda cute too!

He's odd enough to be adorable

I think you won without even realizing it....

Great perspective!
