You are truly an artist as the dogs eyes themselves have a living soul in them.
Back there somewhere in recent past pictures was a paintin you said you would never work on again. somehow my first thought on that one was to create something uniquely original and with texture. I was seeing the addition on that painting painted in brilliant color in textural Acrylics possibly with a dash of gesso to add more texture added. The Juxtaposition between watercolor and that textural bright Sunflower would be incredibly intriguing.
Gosh Jo Ann, You're gonna' make me start painting again! You play the Muse methinks?
