Nice piece of art with good impact and nice detail. I feel this should be published for kids. Nice color tones and great work here.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice artwork and a good creative idea, but I think if this was cropped a bit, it might make it better. Has good color, details, impact, and creativity, and a good story telling ability...niceartwork.

Thank you very much. You are right. I should have cropped it for this post. As it is now it makes only sense as part of the full story. In this chapter spot got accidentally in a theater and is a little lost and affraid on the big stage looking down at the audience.

Thank you Steffi. Spot is indeed performing. In this chapter he got accidentally on the stage of a theater.

He is full of fun and is a real imp. I guess he will get up to some real adventures and get into trouble from time to time. Come play with me come play with me woof woof!!. Love your idea and he is really super. Sandy

Thank you Sandy. Of curse he will have real adventure and of curse he brings himself in trouble. It wouldn't be fun otherwise. My own life dog will help me there as I hope the kids around will.

That is a very cute cartoon dog you created with your digital painting. The colors are harmonious and very nice. The dog is standing in a most playful position, waiting to do something with you.

Thank you so much. Yes that is right. S[pot is waiting that his kid audience tell him what top do.

Comment from artragist
Aw, cleo! This little guy is so cute and expressive! I am glad he introduced himself and I am looking forward to seeing what kind of adventures he will take us on. I love the look on his face and his bunched up, playful gesture. I still am amazed at how much like a painting this looks. It is just wonderful.
Hugs for sharing it with us.

Thank you so much Sara. You shouldn't be to amazed. Your digitals are looking like conventional paintings also...I just remember somebody said your parrot looks just as an Mexican painting. You were somewhat my teacher, didn't you?

Comment from Smurphgirl
This is just delightful. I really like Spot. I can't think of any adventures at the moment but if I do, I will surely let you know. I think this is a marvelous entry for the contest and sincerely wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for reviewing and yor offer. I'm really grateful for it. Actually spot here is already on on of his adventures. The picture wasn't originally painted for the contest but for an chapter were spot accidentally goes in a theater and landed on stage in front of a [kids?] audience. I'm still working on the story itself it changes. Spot sometimes gets it's own expressions and thoughts just when I think of him or I paint him. [crazy, isn't it?] ~Sorry for being late, Cleo

Comment from RaineC
Very nice job, Cleo. I especially like the shadow of the pup. I think that I like part of the curtain to his rear cropped down a little bit. The pup was sort of lost in the image. Overall, a successful adventure. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you. You are absolutely right for this post. This format doesn't make sense by itself. I was cut to much in the story, nobody knows jet. In this chapter spot is in a theater and got accidentally on stage before the curtain facing the audience and is supposed to look a bit lost in the picture.
Sorry for being late again.
