I like the silhouette of the image it really brings out the emotions . The soft pastes were a great addition giving it a slight hallmark card feel ( not in a bad way) :) I miss my rotti he passed of doggie arthiritis. God bless them. Great work, thanks for sharing.

I like the feeling you have captured in this, you can tell he was your friend. I don't think the hand is out of proportion at all. The colors chosen seem to speak from the heart.

Very nice, very creative!!! Initial impact is great, such a modern twist on this with the funky background colors, I like it!!! Nice silhouette of the dog and person's hand and arm, I see no problem with the proportions and I paint animals!!! You get points for creativity on this one.

Now that is a lot of dog with< I am sure a lot of attitude. You would certainly feel safe anywhere with a friend like him next to you. We always had Samoyeds, hah, they would like anyone to death. I love this work, it really popped off the front page and at and begged to be looked at closer. Niceley rendered, best of luck in the contest. Shirley

I really like this Shawn. I think it looks great, thanks for the notes about your friend.
This is a lovely tribute, and expression of love for your pet.

I like your pastel colored background. The silhouette in black showing the shapes is a great idea.
Good work

Awesome print. Great caption and description. I know exactly the feeling. I have a 2 year old Great Dane. He's a BIG boy.
The silhouette is beautiful.

Very nice silhouette painting. I can't imagine having dog that large....must have required alot of work. I like the background you chose - soft and highlights Wolfbane. Good luck in the contest.

Love the way you have caught this moment as a silhuette.

To me it shows the loving touch of the owner and a dog at ease.

Like the colours in the background producing a nice calming image.

God look in the competition, Mark

Shawn, this is a wonderful digital artwork you have presented here. I believe that the backgroiund colouirs have made this stand out so well. I just love the silhouette of the gentle hand touching the wolf! Excellent composition!
