I haven't seen any dog around here. Probably I didn't look carefully. Anyway,I have decided to pay tribute to all dogs by contributing a picture of my Russian spaniel dog named Mona.
She'll be three on February 24 and she loves gifts.

She's waiting for a pat, kind words, and a treat I think! Great fur technique too! :-)

Not only is that a nicely done portrait where you've captured a real personality but she seems like a nice doggy too. And after posing for that pic I assume she got a huge treat [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Good job, was this with software ( I assume it was since it's here) or real paint (no reason painted things can't be in the gallery). I just got done 3 dog commissions in acrylics but I haven't done many dog pictures on the computer.

Great Looking Dog!. What software did you use or was it done with more than one?. Does she bytes!

Looks great! It suggests her personality - any portrait capable of conveying such concepts is truly a wonderful thing to behold. Thanks!
There was another really good dog portrait posted some time ago. It was "Rosie" in the Xara Gallery Forum. It is drawn in a very different style.

Hi everyone,
I am grateful to you for your sharing the feelings I had while doing this image. I am also happy I was able to convey most of them. By the way, it was made on Painter 5.5, and I do not have any other graphic packages.

Maya, thanks again for your inspiring words. The technique is pretty simple: I just use pastels with a variety of opacity and bleach.
I have visited your crowhavenart.com I love it. I wish I could paint and design the way you do. The whales and the cat are a really special treat.

George,
Thanks for your kind comments.I only use Painter 5.5. At times I think she doesn;t know how to bite.

Thank you for the reply, Nikolai. Your ability to convey Mona's personality and the softness of the fur, etc... is just terrific! I thank you for taking the time to view some of my paintings also---I am never satisfied with my art, but the fun is in the creating and learning something new with each attempt. I enjoy other people's artwork much more! The variety of styles is amazing in these forums, there is something for every taste, and a great group of people too. :-) I am looking forward to seeing more of your art!
