Back from an unexpected sojourn, bearing good tidings and birds (--okay, this one's not so much a bird, rather a tennis ball with a dog wrapped around it.) This is one of the things I painted while I was away, in-between finishing up my piece for the 2012 Werewolf Calender (here's the sketch in case you missed it--I'll post the final painting sometime later this year!)
I frickin love this. The motion and the expression on the dogs face, at first glance he looks vicious and then you realise the only thing he wants to bite is that ball! Well done
Great energy and character!
