‘Not Napping’ 5×7 oil on linen

This is my first pupper commission. I was so happy to see his little face and fur and tail come out just right. Can you believe those long legs?!

Painting is about more than ‘replicating’ — for me, I have to capture a feeling. In this case, I wasn’t happy until I caught the mood –> a little sleepy, just checking you out.
