This is my first attempt at a full color painting of a dog-my dog, who normally doesn't sit still long enough for a photo. I got brave enough to try after taking a workshop with Jean Haines and seeing how she does it. I can't wait to try more; only practice and lots of work will make this come more naturally!

this is wonderful Christy, I love her/his expression
Thanks Sharon! She cocks her head when you talk to her; here I was saying "Smile for the camera doggie!"
Beautiful softness and texture Christy. The touch of turquoise and blue set off all the warm colours wonderfully. A very appealing painting.
Your doggie is adorable and the portrait turned out beautifully. I like the bold colors.
Thank you Laura and Blaga for your kind comments!
....glad you made it back home safely from jean's workshop ...first of many portraits of your collie ! beautiful work and palette christy ..she looks very gentle ... we have a border collie .
Thanks Jane-Jean was so gracious. She gave me a bit of one on one time when she knew I had to leave early; I really think that was the spark I needed.
Don't you love the collies? They are so smart!
