I've been commissioned to paint a wonderful, faithful pet & companion of a certain fire breathing dragon..with heart I'm told :) The lovely Maja. I have a deep and genuine affection for dogs, my own sweet little Ginger the French Bulldog and of course Moo Moo as she is sometimes lovingly referred to. Feel free to post tips or words of encouragement as you watch step by step this process of "The Making of Moo Moo".

And this is where I'm at for now....
So now the painting is finally taking shape. I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with it too, I can be so hard on myself sometimes! Now lots to do still, tones are still too light so will be deepening the colors, Maja has the loveliest dark rich brown coat, I'm determined to capture it correctly! I still have to shape her eyes out a bit more to get the right expression, she's a pleaser and it shows on her face. I also have to work on her mouth too, will begin taking form as I layer on more paint. I like to step back from the canvas often, it helps to get an overall idea of how the project is developing. I still have to work on a bit of a dip at the top of her head too. And also work on her snout a bit more! It's a process, but.... you likey? Hope So!
