  Good to hear. I'm glad you are on the mend.

Decided to take a break from the beach scenes to try my hand at a pet portrait in pastels...I'm just so floored by the ones others are doing in this medium! Please let me know if there's something I can do to make this better...thanks!

Sharon,

Looks really good except for the soldiers-in-a-row whiskers.  Are they really that stiff and evenly spaced?  I don't have a dog so don't know.

Love the eyes - so shiny and deep.

Good work as usual.  You must have brought one suitcase just for art supplies.

Good catch on the whiskers, Mea - I'll correct that and repost. And yes, I did bring a bag with my painting supplies - but we've been so busy I haven't been able to paint nearly as much as I hoped.  Now we're in the villa where it's a bit more remote I'm hoping to get through a few more pastel lessons!

Good work Sharon

Thanks, Natalie! Added a bit more to the whiskers to make them look less like soldiers!

Well done Sharon!  You are definitely getting the hang of these pastels.  I love his sad eyes and his ears look soft and silky.

Sharon, overall very well executed His whiskers are just very wild - he needs to go to the barber for a moustache trim Check the photo you can hardly see the whiskers

[Sacgal/Sharon]

OK - I'll find a barber here in Puerto Vallarta and will repost once he's had a trim!

   Nicely done Sharon and I know he'll be quite dapper after his trim.... just watch out for that 'pencil thin mustache'!

OK, found someone to trim this fellow's whiskers - and no thin mustache, Val!!

[ncwren]

Look at you go...making changes like it's nothing! 

[MaryAnne Long]

Yes, Sharon, he looks better now.

Have fun your last few days.
