**Painting!

Hey!
I'm about half way through my latest painting! It'a a brindle dane with cropped ears. Unfortunatly, I'm not good enough at it to do my own, I have to copy pics.:( ;)
Here's the original:

What could I improve upon?

Probably more definition in the snout mate. My mum who paints the most wonderful landscapes, and has for years, still struggles to do portraits. It's a hard thing to capture the emotion in the face, and your doing water colours? Thats even harder. It's looking pretty good though.:)

Thanks, I'm beginig to think I'll never finish it! ;) Yes, it is in watercolors.
