Spud

Here is Spud- a beautiful Black Lab.  I've been painting a lot of black dogs lately, which has been a fun learning experience for me.  For Spud I used a lot of color, and kept areas white to help create a light direction.  I really like the background I gave him, I think it makes the whole painting glow a little.  Right now I don't have any other commissions- so I'm going to be working on some for fun paintings to try and get originals for my show in May.  If you have any great pet pictures (I would love some up close horse pictures) and want to see them turned into a painting- send them my way!  I'd love to see them!
