Thank you for your complimentary words. The photo of the dog was blurry so it was challenging. I vowed that my next painting would not have to be "accurate." Thank you, again. Jan

Thank you for your complimentary words. I'm flabbergasted that you knew exactly what I was trying to do, especially realistic eyes. The photo that I received was very blurry (eyes were gray) and it's a mixed breed - this added to the challenge. I appreciate your insightful review. Jan
