Come here boy
Yesterday and today I work on this painting of a dog (I think it is some kind of Spaniel). I really wanted to exceed myself with this one. Mainly I make paintings with a neutral background, but this time I really wanted a theme. So I turned on some nice classical music which immediatly brought my in the mood for this painting, but than again, music is painting with notes hahaha. The photo really captured that moment when someone calls their dog and they look up at you just a moment before they jump up and run towards you. As I did not like the background in the photo I tried to make my own background out of several other photo’s. It was really hard to blend in the dog with the background with his shadow, but also because the dog is in a somewhat different style than the background. I have the painting as my desktop background and I just cannot stop watching, to me that is a good sign ;-)
Best regards,
Odwin

you’ve done a beautiful, beautiful job!!!!! I agree, he does have that expectant look right before he jumps up and joins you with talk wagging and a happy smile!!!! A wonderful glowing look in the eye color!!! I like the background that you chose … I had a similar problem with a dog photo a week or so ago … and understand how important it is to get that part right!!!! A beautiful work .. you should add it to more groups, there are several for dogs and pets here that I’m sure would LOVE it!!! Let me know if you’d like some suggestions, I’d be happy to help!!!

This is a very beautiful image Odwin. You have captured the essence of the dog very well and the background suits the picture. It is such a lovely piece and I can see why you would want it as your desk top pic.

Excellent portrait, the colour and tonal values really work well together.
You state:
I have the painting as my desktop background and I just cannot stop watching, to me that is a good sign
To me this shows self-critique and the sign of a true artist!
Keep up the fantastic work.
