Description
Whew, glad this is done.A rather large custom painting for my friend's sister, of her boyfriend's Great Dane, Joya.
I LOVE that dog. Freaking GORGEOUS.
Got sick of this because I spanned it over too many weeks, trying to find time to work on it. Feels good to finish it. Feels even better to get replies like "OHMYGOD THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT" when you message the commissioner a pic.
Its done entirely with acrylic paint, on an 11"x14" stretched canvas.
It is so bloody hard to take good photos of large, semi-shiny pieces. And pieces with straight lines. Regardless of how careful I was, the edges of the canvas bowed out, and the lines of the deck were shifted. Had to fix with photoshop, which I don't like doing.
Feedback appreciated!!

Wonderful painting! At first blush, it looks like a photo with all the detail you put into it.
The color palette you used gives it a subtle autumn feel. And, I agree ... that dog is absolutely gorgeous. Of course, I've been wanting a harlequin Great Dane ... but still.
Your work definitely shows ... Excellent job.
