Pet Project: Dog #1: Cucumber Anyone?

To complete this painting, the background was added, the eyes detailed and small lighter areas were retouched. To me, the blue sets off the orange in the dog's coat and makes the painting more of a summer day.
I will post the pets to DPW starting next week. This will allow the contributors of the original photographs first chance to see each
painting. For any painting purchased in the Pet Project, 25% will be donated to our local animal rescue: Animal Crackers.
Starting tomorrow: a pet a day for AC until the images run out!
