Arcrylic on canvas board-11"x14"-This is a present for my Dad's birthday yesterday. It's of our dog Gypsy on the last day we had leaves-I was actually raking and she was in the last patch right before they were all bagged up.
Wonderful colours and light you have painted. What I like the most is the expression of the dog, you can just see how much fun she had in all those leaves!
My goodness i THOUGHT THIS WAS A PHOTOGRAPH you actually did good and great painting here, excellent work! so sweet with the text and the dog looks very cute too resting and relaxing:-)
beautiful painting. i love the attention to the light and the loose rendering of the leaves which is very effective. I get a feeling of attention to the present moment from this painting and its subject.
