I have finished with one of the dogs and now on to the next! I am really loving this piece - I think this may be my favorite one I have done so far (but then I usually think that right about now!). One of my goals as an artist is to always do better - I want to improve with each portrait. I decided to change the layout/format with this piece just to try something new - and I like the way it's turning out. The vertical page layout having the dogs at an angle and diagonal from each other adds to the composition and makes it more appealing to the eye.
