Man's Best Friend

A pet portrait of a border collie called Jess I painted a few weeks ago from a photo.
I've done my best to capture the 'bouncing temperament' of my model.

***************************** Soft pastels on velours paper (20x25 cm)

Beautiful painting Greg. But the pupils do need to be darker with a smaller reflection, with a white pupil he looks blind.

I love the glossiness of the fur. Could use a bit more shadow though. Like under the paws. A little shadow in the eyes will give them that added expression as well. Great job though Greg! *hugs*
