This is Oscar, one of my co-worker's dogs. I pet sat for him a few weeks ago and took a bunch of pictures. I really liked the photo this is based on, so I decided to paint it. I'm happy with how it turned out, despite its flaws. I feel like I'm on my way to achieving the effect that I want to achieve with acrylics. Although, I know I definitely have much room for improvement. I think I've already mentioned that I'm really not interested in realism in the painting arena. It's really pretty liberating not having to worry about that. My drawing background definitely helps, but I don't want to achieve the same thing with these very different mediums. I think it probably shows how fond I am of this dog. He's quite the little character.
