Just completed painting of a Dobermann.
A beautiful noble expression, calm and confident, from a really good photo supplied by the owner.
The dog's name is "Rosie"
Pastel on Mi Tientes paper.

Nice painting! Love the colour and warmth in the eyes. 
I really like your back ground also! It looks almost like a watercolour! |

| wow that does look fantastic. And how nice to work from a good photo, rather then 'I'd like this painted but can you make this person smile and add this person to it' haha |

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.
Jade, I often have to work from less than ideal photos especially of deceasd pets where I can't get any more. Digital cameras have made a huge difference to the quality of photos I receive, although a lot of people still manage to stuff it up. Enlarging a little black blob at the end of the garden just gives you a big black blob at the end pf the garden.
Wendy, the background is just pastel put on and rubbed together. I always use my fingers to do this although I probably shouldn't. I've tried other methods but nothing else works as well. |

| Hi Clive, this piece is awesome mate! The simplicity of form, the definition of the light, the personality of the dog shines through brilliantly. |

| Awesome work. She appears smart and totally alert. One of my dogs is named Rosie, too, but she's a cockerspaniel. |
