Sunny Girl-Yellow Lab

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Thaesha was the gracious hostess who supplied all the great reference photos. Thanks, Thaesha!

This is  Kashmir...and she sure knows how to pose for a portrait!I tried to lay the paint on extra thick in an attempt for spontaneous color blends.
Thought I was done, but when it was photographed and I saw it on the monitor, I had to do some touch ups....several times.

This is oil on a 5x7 hardboard.

C&C welcome. Thanks for peeking and commenting!
