I painted this portrait to practice dogs. Her name is Raleigh, and she’s a lovely creature. What do you think?

This scan doesn’t fully capture this painting I did of Vespurr, a Maine Coon with a to-die-for tail. You can check out her instagram here. The painting was an anniversary gift.

This is mostly watercolor, and partly washable pencil. I’m pleased with it, mostly, but next time my darks need to be darker, I think.

She’s 4 years old, but has discovered that Midas leads impeccably. This brings her great delight. It brings me great delight, also.
It will probably be a while before I feel I’ve properly captured the scene in paint.
