Jack the Portuguese Water Dog
"Jack," a Portuguese Water Dog(4x4; watercolor and micron pen; 90# Fabriano hp)
Yesterday I met the sweetest Portuguese Water Dog named Jack. He is barely one year old and is quite the boisterous pup! I love his unique coloring. Most Portuguese Water Dogs (including the new Obama dog, "Bo") are black with a little white fur. Jack is mostly white, with beautiful chocolate brown ears. As I noticed when petting another Portuguese Water Dog, their fur is SO soft!Here is the picture I managed to take when Jack sat down:

Don't you just love all the choices we have to create art? Your painting is great. I can feel the curls.
Perfect touch of artistic license to bring out that perky personality Christine! Great job... love that lavender/periwinkle background too.
Thank you, Melissa, Pat and Sheila! I really wanted to capture something of his sweet, curly, puppy-dog essence!
