Senior Retriever

And yet again, another mystery dog. I sometimes save photos of animals from Facebook when I see one with a cute expression and good lighting, then by the time I get around to painting it I forget whose they are. Oh well! This was a senior golden retriever. Something in its eyes was very puppy-like though.

Wonky Callie

I wasn't going to post this one but it's kind of growing on me! I wasn't even going to finish it but then I thought it'd be good practice for eyes and whiskers before painting over it. Now I think I'll keep it. I kind of dig the over-exposed, askew look of it.

Ellie

I haven't painted for a long time, so this is a little choppy- but Ellie was so fun to paint with her pretty ginger fur and happy expression. It felt great to paint again, I plan to make more time for it. Maybe I can put the "weekly" back in Weekly Painting Blog! :P
