English Sheepdog-Portrait

Close up

Oil on 6x6 canvas panel..

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The hostess was Bonnie, and she provided great reference photos.

I believe this is an Old English Sheepdog.

I tried to use the principles of Yin and Yang in this puppy portrait.
This means opposite factors. Thick paint versus thin...Light vs dark...Warm vs cool. I also like the ability to look down through the development (layers) of the painting. From the thick finishing strokes right on down to beginning...the bare spots of canvas...with all the development in between.
At the moment, I'm happy with how this one turned out.
