Pet Project #16: Gentle Friend

Gentle Friend/ oil/ 8" x 8"/ SOLD? 25% donated to Animal Crackers

I was sent an image of this beautiful dog to add to this project. I wanted this painting to show how gentle and kind a pet she/he is. Therefore,  I concentrated on the face and in the face,  the eyes and the smile. I wanted all the rest of the dog to be less important.

Artist Note: Losing the edges and keeping a likeness were challenging for me in this painting.
