Dave, pet portrait



Dave has one of the characteristics I find most challenging. He has some brindle markings. I find it difficult to paint them in a way that is obviously brindle and not just stripes, but still stay true to my painting style. With Dave I think I came close.

Sweet face. I think you did a great job with his brindle markings. I knew what it was before I ever read your comments. Well done!

I know how difficult the brindle is to do and think you did a fabulous job - as usual, the eyes are what draw me in.
