| Calvin, 18x24, acrylic on canvas, work in progress |
I worked on Calvin some more yesterday before going to work. I think I am finally getting his face right. I would like to thank everyone for stopping by last week and encouraging me. I think I still need to work on those paws too. That one in the foreground really bugs me, I think I've figured out the problem; it doesn't look thick enough to me, what do you all think?
I've been trying to get finished because I fly out Tuesday morning for 2 1/2 weeks in Italy and really need to get this guy delivered before then!

Wonderful ~ fine tuning as you say and I think it will be done ~ Love the face! Happy PPF ~ namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I think it looks very good. The paw looks slightly small now that you mention it, but I'd have to see the actual dog to compare.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a wonderful, gentle pup! I love his fur, don't know how you accomplish that! As far as the paw...I don't know, I can't find anything wrong with it :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful portrait of Calvin. I think he looks great. You can see his sweet personality. Maybe just a little shadow under his paw is all you need. Have a great time in Italy! Happy PPF. ~ Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHe looks just fine to me! Have fun in Italy.
ReplyDeleteCALVIN is beautiful! Enjoy your trip to Italy! HAPPY PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour painting of Calvin is great and loving his smashing smile. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great painting of Calvin. He looks very happy. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteLovely face. I think the paw has a kink in it. It looks like its on tippy toes! Great painting all round though
ReplyDeleteI am loving Calvin; you have captured such great personality and warmth in his face- I agree that a shadow under his paw might help- also the shadow you have where his arm meets his chest might be a little too strong, giving it a kind of weird angle? Overall I think he is wonderful and your clients are very lucky to be getting such an incredible piece of art!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF (a day late ;))

Calvin's coming along wonderfully!!!Happy PPF!Deb
ReplyDeleteHe's looking great. I think what bugs you might be that the two front paws don't "match". Maybe if you deepen the shadow under the spot where his paw lifts up (would it be his ankle?) it will make it more evident that he has one paw lifted slightly.
ReplyDeleteItaly! How wonderful! I hope you have a perfect time there!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is looking great. I think his face looks so sweet. He looks like he's game for anything (don't you love that about dogs?). After you said that about his paw, I think you might be right. It does look less in proportion to his other feet.
Happy PPF!
Calvin looks like one cool dog and you've captured him perfectly! AWESOME work! POP ART MINIS
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Calvin!!! I love Calvin!!! I thought I left a message your blog before butI don't see it! He is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's looking fantastic! ...and what a cute name :D
ReplyDeleteI love him, he looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous! I think the way he is pushing that paw down makes it look a bit odd but that's what he's doing so you captured it well.
ReplyDeleteI think Calvin is wonderful - I just love the way you handle fur :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Italy!!!
