Todays progress
Starting at the top and working my way down, I'm building up layers of paint to create depth and detail over the underpainting. I just love painting dog ears - they are like a little world unto themselves...

I love seeing the process and progress! It is fun to watch it become so real!
Looking good! :)
You have amazing talent. Looking at your progress, we're standing here in our kitchen saying, 'wow'...wish I had the time to do that, wish we could make the whole house into a studio...wish wish wish....just wanted you to know your work was inspirational!
Your right about the ears.
I love your painting and your little guy is so cute. I have a similar little guy, also very cute.
I love seeing the in progress, great work!
Thank you everyone, your comments mean a lot to me. Kimberly, thank you, that is so nice to hear. I find inspiration all around me every day, including your beautiful designs and colors. :-)
I love seeing Wips too!! You do such beautiful work!! Funny the parts you enjoy doing the most - I like eyes and horse hooves - lol. Can't wait to see the final pic!!!
And lil' Ratties got lots of ears!!! Looking great~~
Gorgeous! I love getting a little peak into the process..
You make it look so easy! I find dogs really difficult ( to paint that is, not to live with!)
Love it. You are truly talented! I love to see your work in progress. Now tell me more about your matting. I need to start matting my work, I can't afford to have it done. I just am unsure where to start? Suggestions?
Thanks everyone. :-)
TW, we bought this to cut mats with: http://www.dickblick.com/products/logan-650-framers-edge-mat-cutter/ It is a bit of an investment, but our Dick Blick store has 40% coupons sometimes, which we used. I mount the prints on acid-free foamboard, then lay the mat over that and hinge tape them together with archival linen tape: http://www.dickblick.com/products/lineco-self-adhesive-linen-hinging-tape/ Then it gets packaged into a clear bag from here: http://clearbags.com/?category|BAGSPC
Hope this helps.
