This is a beautiful image.
I have a boxer dog which looks slightly similar!
The angle, and colours are lovely, it's amazing!
Very well done, this deserves a fave!

Love the light blue reflection in the eyes and how it makes them pop out against the dark, brindle coat.

Great example of watercolor art.

Thanks very much. This watercolor took a lot longer than I anticipated. There must be close to 6 or 7 layers on the coat. I couldn't quite match the color of the original, but was reasonably pleased with the feel of the painting. Thanks again for your interest and kind comments.

It's even more impressive in download mode! I can see your technique and strokes vividly, like being at a fine art museum.

Been looking at your gallery again. Do you do art as a profession?

Not really, but that's my goal. I do a lot of commissions and stuff.

I'm finding that a career as a full-time, paid illustrator is about as hard to come by as becoming a rock star.

Oh my! You did a wonderful job on the watercolor, Steve. This is awesome! I love how you captured the light in his eyes so well. Your use of color is great too. It is so cool seeing one of my photos like this, particularly seeing that it's of one of my favorite subjects.

I could just go on and on...lol, but I think I'll just say Thank you.
