That is so cool! I absolutely love it. Was it a commission?
Wow! I love this - the colors and the composition...but I'm a little off center myself.
I love it! The colors, Cloud's expression - great! I'd really like to see it in person.
Cloud is, as always, stunning, but I can't take my eyes off that beautiful red. The waves in it and the depth -- the best likeness I can think of is watching a fire. Always the same but every second something different.
Thanks Lori! This is my dog Cloud. I thought it best to do an experimental painting using my dog, lol.
Thanks 7, me too!
Jen, it looks even better in person, I wish you lived closer! :-)
Chris, I think that's the neatest feedback I've ever received on a painting. Thank you! **grins**
Terrific use of color! I love bold color!! It's perfect for this piece!!
I like the unconventional feel, it's got a sense of movement and anticipation. Just beautiful!
I am bewitched by this piece! Love that stunning red and texture as well as the way you've positioned Cloud - dynamic painting!
Great painting Kathleen, the composition works really well)
I love the colors and think Cloud looks so sweet in this portrait.
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
The bold reds have such a wonderful texture to them, Kathleen!
And I love the "unconventional" pose too!
A highly-rendered and strong dog portrait!
Be proud of this one!

Isn't great when an experiment turns out so right! Cloud looks great in red, Kimberly
I love this picture! Keep on with the strong color.

I love bold, this is striking!

Fantastic, Kathleen!! Great composition, too. I LOVE IT!

Kathleen, this is superb! I love the viewpoint, and the colors, though beautiful, are almost secondary. You are grabbed immediately by the riveting composition. You GO!
Very daring and quite marvelous! The composition alone makes for a very striking portrait, the colors add a wonderful emotional component. And the glint of reflected white in his eye draws us back to the handsome subject. Bravo!
Kathleen, all of your dog portraits are wonderful, but this one is my favorite one!! Cloud is definitely your muse, and he looks good in red!
Kathleen, I know you're busy, but I gave you a Sunshine Award on my blog, and you can pick it up there as of Friday... no obligation.
It's stunning! Cloud is soooooo sweet. :)

Incredible! I love Cloud's pose. It fits perfectly with the dramatic, bold red. You're such an amazing artist. I wish I could see the painting in person. :P
Hi Kathleen--I really love this painting! I think it is just brilliant the way you create a sense of mystique with the position of Cloud's pupil, the vertical upstrokes in brighter red, and the funnel shape above it all (among some other very interesting elements!). The combination generates fascination that makes me not want to look away without knowing what Cloud sees.
I love it!
