This is hot off the easel. A commission of a British Bulldog for a Christmas present. I think this was the hardest dog I’ve had to paint. Acrylic on 425gm Saunders Waterford paper. 30 × 40cms.

You did it…I just KNEW you could do it & I knew you would do it well. This is spectacular. Nothing to do with your work, but he has face only a mother could love!!! Instant fav!
Marsha, you are a STAR. I agonized over this one and your comments made me keep at it. I’ve been painting for about seven hours! Thanks so much.
