Beagle in Watercolor

This was done for a challenge. It is on Arches 140 CP, 8 x 10.

A sweetie, Joy. I like the background colour and texture, too.

now that is puppy eyes .. lovely

Penny, thank you. Your dog portraits are so outstanding and your opinion is very valuable to me. I thought the BG was much too dark when I painted it first. But I decided to forge ahead with the rest of the painting, as the ears are quite dark in value. Once I had the very darkest value son, the BG did not look as bad to me.

Wayne, thank you. Although he looks a wee bit guilty of something to me.
