Dog Day

Today in the painting workshop, Gwen showed us how to rescue a dog - a dog of a painting, that is. Then we had a timed  painting exercise, and I produced my own dog of a painting. Fellow painters suggested that it looked like a bird coming out of an outhouse door with a gun in his hand, firing at an unseen target. So what do YOU see? I'm keeping this one to remind me that everybody has a bad day, particularly when (as I did) you try to copy someone else's style
Here are the ones I started this afternoon. I like them much better - I tried some new techniques but especially liked using the transparent acrylic inks. There are designed to be companion pieces.
