Shepherd Reflections - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite
close up of eyes:
This painting came about as a result of a challenge on the Artists Reference page of Facebook. I was actually too late to enter it into the challenge but I wanted to have a go at painting it and changing the atmosphere of the original photograph. In the reference photo, the dog is lying on grass with a ball type toy. I decided, as you can see, to give it a black background with some reflection as on a shiny dark wooden floor. I'm very pleased with the result and hope you like it too.

Beautiful work! The black background seems perfect for this handsome dog's portrait.
Thanks Diana - I'm glad you like the black background - I do too. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it just seems impossible to get a decent photograph of the painting! Grr!
