This is beautiful! I love the way you painted the fur. The eyes look so realistic. I love the pose and the expression on the dog's face. Very nicely done!

Comment from Jack Moore


The very first thing when I saw this was Walt Disney the shaggy dog, it just shows how far back in time I went to bring back some old memories. It kind of makes you want to pick him up and give him some great loving. I like how this is framed but just my opinion I would have liked to see a different background to make him stand out. I would still like to give him a big squeeze though. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

So cute! Great textures, highlights and nice alert eyes waiting for his family to come home.
I really like the details of his fur.
Fantastic work Cleo ;)

This is beautiful pet photography.You have timed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the sada look on the dog's face very well. Good effort!.

    This is not a photograph. It is a digital painting, done brush stroke by brush stroke on o touch pad.

    Oops! Sorry. I got fooled by the extreme realism. Excellent rendering!

Your painting is beautifully presented with fine textures and colors. Your use of light and shadows is excellent and the precise details of his face and fur are giving this pretty dog an amazing reality. I especially like the expressive look of his eyes. Very well done and pleasing to view!

You did a great job of capturing the longing and sad expression. Good job on the fur as well. He looks like a lovable fluffy dog. The dark background accentuates the light fluff on top.

Having just adopted a rescue pup, this picture captured my attention. What a beautiful work of your neighbor's dog! Your attention to the texture of the fur makes it seem touchable. And the sweet expression on the face captures feelings. Excellent!

You really caught that waiting patiently look. He is so cute with that position. Your skill is very evident. This looks so realistic. Good colour pallet which looks natural and the dark shading is excellent for showing the curls. Looks a lot of detailed work very well done.
