In any other part of the country this little dog might have been named "Pierrot" or "Harlequin". But in New Orleans his black and white face evokes the black and white painted faces on the riders of Zulu on Mardi Gras.
One of the things I've found in painting largely (or all) white animals, is that the subtle lights and darks in the white areas need to be exaggerated in order to create dimension.

Love the contrast and brushwork. Another wonderful painting, Carolyn.
Wonderful Carolyn! Love your use of color in the whites, such great expression in this sweet face.
Love it Carolyn!
Zulu might just have the sweetest face you have ever painted:) Love the eyes- am amazed by that little nose and am studying how you painted that- wow! All the gorgeous brushwork is just that- gorgeous.
Great painting on a tiny scope. Also love the name.
Beautiful, love that face
A very touching and heartfelt painting! I enjoyed it very much, Carolyn : )
