Wow, that looks amazing! Great job, keep up the good work!

Wow! That is amazing. The grass looks so real. And the face on the dog does too. Wish I had some of that talent. The ball doesn't look like crap, either. I think it looks like a photograph. Do you paint often? If so, what are your rates?

[Taz_Zoee]

I agree with dukedogsmom, I was thinking it looks like a photo too. I think the ball looks great!!! You do have talent, don't be so hard on yourself. My sister is a good artist and she is always her worst critic. She doesn't like any of her drawings, but they are good. Just like this painting. It's amazing!!!! (of course I can't even draw a good stick figure....obviously my sister got the artistic ability in the family)

This is fun, seeing it develop step by step! Thanks so much for sharingyour prgoress with us!

You are incredibly talented!

[Kfamr]

That is amazing already and it's not even done yet! You do brilliant work.

Can't wait to see it finished, it's exciting to see it in progress.

Thanks everyone.

Managed to get an update on Megas head. Still more work to do even on the areas I have already worked on.

[Catty1]

Looks wonderful!

Did you have to use a wide-angle canvas? (ducks to avoid spitballs)

[Canis-Lupess]

LOL, it's on Fabriano hotpress watercolour paper but the poor paper will probably have a heart attack after a few years of bearing this image....

[BCollie_Kelly]

Simply Amazing.

Finally an update from me.

Head just about done and collar and starting work on the chest now.

My sister and I bumped into our cousin the other day on the way to our martial arts training and he told us how he'd started taking Meg out for a walk each day and that she seemed to be getting a bit better. He said the first day he thought she was going to die, lol.
He also said how my uncle Ray keeps telling my Aunt Margaret off when he sees her giving Meg needless dishes of meat and it upsets her. He says she's getting better and has cut it down to one dish of meat a day and that he keeps perstering her as well. Hopefully, they'll keep at it.
Also, the little mole thing on her muzzle has dropped off, lol. I painted it in now, haha. Oh well, it's staying. It was part of her when I took the photos so sod it!!!
I'm hoping to see her slightly slimmer next time I go down. My cousin says she's still an annoying screamer though. I HATE that...Thats another story..

[pessimisaurus]

looking good! and that is awesome news about Meg, I sure hope she starts losing weight!! though I imagine she will since it sounds like even just those 2 very basic changes of minimal table scraps/treats and ONE WALK a day (thats not even enough to meet most dogs needs lol) are something she never had before.

[Canis-Lupess]

Well, she does get walked about three times each day but it's only a pathetic little stroll around the block on lead which isn't exactly going to burn many calories off.
I think she gets a longer walk occasionally when they decide to take one on a nice day or something.

My cousin is taking her for a longer walk to try and get her exercising a bit more.

I'm impressed... I've been following along your progress with the painting.. I can't wait to see the finished artwork!
