Description
I just can't help myself...Roxie's former portrait was bugging me. It was TOO "cartoony" for my taste and usual style. So I tweaked it...a lot! It is much darker now with more depth and shadows. The eyes have more color. I added layers of glaze and gold watercolor too soon after each other and it "pushed" the gold around and gave it this wonderful texture! So, I discovered another method to add to my work simply by accident.....thanks to Roxie. She is such a sweet little thing. And she has learned to "twirl" (turn in a circle on her hind feet) like a dancer! And to think she was unwanted and found under a piece of cardboard only a year ago....

Alanna...my husband would give her to you in a heartbeat; he doesn't care much for dogs! But she is such a precious little creature who is tender and sweet and I could paint her many times over and never be able to capture all the unique expressions and looks of love. Thank you for taking the time to comment... Many Blessings, Laura
