These are gouache paintings i did refining my technique and style for a project i am working on. As I have relized from peoples reactions to my dog art, style is not as impactful as the emotional connection with the dog. People really seem to respond to the bulldog top right (although I feel the Bull Terrier on the bottom is the strongest painting), because of his strong emotion. So....this is certainly something I will really focus on in further developement of this project, because the whole point is to connect with dog owners.
Next I will try my hand at longer hair breeds like the German SHepard.
