Okay, so I couldn't bring myself to paint another fruit or vegetable. I had some poinsettias, but they didn't thrill me either. So I took some pictures of my dogs and settled on this one of Rufus. He's a mixed breed dog that we adopted after he and his siblings were abandoned in the park.
I wanted to stay loose on the painting and not do a lot of detail. I think I accomplished that. He's very hard to paint because his face is so dark. I didn't use black at all - instead mixed it with my cheap ultramarine (see previous post). I thought it turned out just okay. He's much much prettier in person!
