Painting of Mega..I mean Meg in progress.

wow, I'm an artist myself and can't believe how amazing your painting looks! It's gorgeous and looks so real. You must use a special type of paint and a fine tipped brush or something cause its down right amazing!

I use mixed media. Acrylic being one of the main mediums together with watercolour pencil, coloured pencil, black drawing pen and some graphite in places.
I do use fine brushes, yes. :)

How is Meg's exercise and food program coming along?

I bet she is feeling a lot better!

Think of this as her "before" picture! :D

I haven't heard but I'll be sure to let you all know when I find something out. I'll find stuff out no doubt once I get this finished because I'll have to phone them up. I'm not sure if they want me to get it framed or not so I'll need to check.

Still no news for you on Mega herself but here is an update on the painting...finally... :D

It is so life-like!

And, as Opus said earlier this week in the cartoons, "eggplant IS a shape!"

I have been following this thread and I love seeing the work in progress get closer to completion.
You are a very talented artist, your attention to detail in your painting makes it look like a photograph.
It looks like you are getting close to finishing this painting, have you already decided what your next painting will be?

Hello and thanks.

I'm not sure yet what my next painting will be but I don't think it will be a dog. I have somebody wanting me to paint a couple of Arab mares of hers but I have to go and get photos of them first. Her older sister also wants a horse of hers doing too. If I don't get that arranged for when I finish this, I'll start on a personal portfolio piece and somebody I know gave me a photo of a golden eagle they took so I might try my hand at a bird for once.

It's mainly just Mega's back end I have to finish off now and then I'll paint in some grass over the bottoms of her legs/feet. No point doing that until the legs and what shows of the feet are finished themselves.

Wow - your painting is amazing.

I really enjoy watching it progress to where it is now.

Awesome job!

Look great!! I wish I had even an ounce of your talent!! :D

It was fun to see the progression of your work. That's 1,000,000 times better than anything I can do! Looks great, good job!

Looks great so far,I can't wait to see the finished project.

I was following this thread but wasn´t able to see any pics......all red x´s..... until now....... and let me tell you WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!........

AMAZING!!!!...... are you part camera?.......;)..... very life like.......*claps*

this has been asked, but I saw no reply on this and I wondered it too..... what are your rates??......very appealing.....and also would you ship?? to mexico??

wow awesome job!

LOL, whats mexico like for importing stuff? Do they charge import duties? I know Canada does but the U.S doesn't. I've sent paintings to both of those.

Anyway, I finally got this finished. I'll phone my aunt and uncle tomorrow after work. Most likely they'll want me to get this framed for them before I take it down. I hope I can come back with news that Meg has shed some weight but I won't be holding my breath and neither should you guys. :(

Next time I have to paint a dog, I'll be sure to post it.

Thanks for watching everyone.
