| Sachmo 18x24 acrylic on canvas, work in progress |
mmmm on second thought he's not looking so bad after all, maybe just a bit more tweaking and refining.

And on another front my wordy self has begun writing. I am writing articles over on Squidoo. I have four articles up right now.

ReplyDeleteHello .. well done! seems to be barking at any moment. Saludos
ReplyDeleteSachmo is a wonderful painting, he looks like a very loveing, sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteLoving, loving it! Just adorable! Can't wait to see the finished painting. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour painting is wonderful! Just wait and I am sure you can tweak it so that you will love it as much as I do! :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great already. It's a big loving dog. Wonderful Sachmo. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleterest and food is a good idea, a fresh look later. I agree with your after thought, looking pretty good!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dog. I am going to make a small critique, I think his red nose stands out too much, bit like a clowns nose otherwise he is gorgeous I want to touch his fur.♥ Rosie
ReplyDeleteOh, don't paint over him. He is looking lovely. I'm sure with just a tweak or two you will be very happy with him.
ReplyDeleteI think this is wonderful- I really like it! Isn't it funny how when you step away from something, you find that you like it better than you's thought?
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF,
Stephanie
When you are having a tough spell while creating a work just set it aside where you won't see it for a day or two. Then come back to it with fresh eyes. You will see that it is a lovely work in progress. HAPPY PPF!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, I think he is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSachmo looks so sweetly grumpy. I think it's a great painting.
ReplyDeleteEveryone thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. Yes I'm liking it a bit more today; just see some places where I've gotten off the drawing and need to work on it. @Rosie, yes the pink part of his nose should be lighter. I tend to be a bit dark when I start and then lighten up layer by layer.
ReplyDeleteHe looks nice so far.
ReplyDeleteI want to scratch Sachmo's ears...he is so real! You must of been having a bad day, Mary, he's wonderful♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteHe is charming!! I bet he loves his portrait.
ReplyDeleteFour articles? - Good for you! Congratulations!
I love the texture of Sachmo's fur - you captured it beautifully - his ears look wonderfully soft!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for mentioning Paint Party Friday in your Squidoo article :)

ReplyDeleteHe's so adorable! I agree with the others. Step back for awhile and then decide. I think you'll see he's wonderful! :)
