Guinness looks so serious. I love how you have painted his facial expression and how you have meticulously drawn and painted his coat and its textures. The contrasting color of the background is a good choice. The vertical frame fits well. Overall, this painting is well-defined and sharp. Great job, Phyllis. This will be a good gift.

The interplay of light and shadows, the vivid colours, and the composition have all come together beautifully. Well done! Your effort is evident and commendable

This is a gorgeous rendering of your family pet. The details are so clear and precise, showing his beautiful expression, detail and color of his fur. This could almost be a photograph, it is so clear. Well done. I wish I had a six.

Very cute dog. My favorite part of this piece is the eyes. You managed to breathe life into the eyes even though it is two-dimensional artwork. What I would recommend though is that for the background to have a bit more detail presented in it. I can't tell if the background is supposed to be the ground or a wall.

Nicely done! This is a wonderful acrylic painting of Guinness. You have achieved finite (realistic) detail in the hair. The face expression is priceless! The background supports the portrait nicely and allows Guinness to stand out so nicely. Well done!

Comment from alaskapat


Guinness is a beautiful boy . I like very much the way you have posed him with his head slightly tilted as if he is listening to something being said to him. He is well rendered with good show of his shape and structure as well as the texture of his fur , his facial expression shows that he is intelligent , I like his colors and the way his ears are positioned.
His eyes bring him to life .
He stands out beautifully from the warm earth toned background.
Well presented!
