LapDog

A few weeks ago, I published a story about a recent painting I had done. A few weeks gone by and something just wasn’t sitting right with me about the painting. At one point I had changed something and the more I looked at it, the more I realized that I preferred the original way that I had done it. There were a few small things and one bigger thing I just wasn’t happy with.

This morning I decided to rework it a bit. This is something that I rarely do as I learned a long time ago that it was easy to go too far and completely ruin a painting. I try to work as much in the moment as I can. In this particular case, I am happy that I did. To my eye, it looks more like what I had envisioned.

I give you, (once again 🙂 “LAPDOG”

While at a kid’s soccer game, there was a woman sitting with her huge dog in a folding chair. This Weimaraner was a beautiful, good girl. She kept trying to curl up with her “mom”. It was so awkward and funny, that I just had to capture this moment.

This pup was sweet and hilarious, definitely not a “lap dog” but absolutely a fantastic art model.

I began this painting a few weeks ago, but had a lot going on and didn’t want to just rush it in between things. Also I know that many people struggle with knowing when to say, “this is finished” but I generally seem to have the opposite problem. I tend to sometimes feel ready to move on to the next piece, or project to quickly. However, I loved this subject so much that I was willing to take my time and get it just the way I wanted it. I think I accomplished that because this painting of a silly dog makes me smile whenever I look at it. I hope it makes you smile too! I present; ”LAP DOG”
