If you have not fallen in love by the time you are finished painting this, I’d say don’t even paint it. He is so adorable, I can hardly stand it. He is goning on my list to do. Great lesson Ginger!
I seriously love this little dog, so much so that I am going to start it tomorrow after my grand-children leave, we have them for the weekend. I may just sneak in the underpainting!!! I have three underpaintings started with dogs, two large ones before the passing of my little girl, and just started the Henri-de Toulouse-Loutrec painting of that little scruffy dog, all these paintings will be on deep gallery wrapped canvases.
