Command Performance

This was a spur of the moment painting, so to speak. I was at a friend's house when I had the mentioned the basic idea to the boy's mother. So we coached him into getting their golden retriever to "beg" for a milkbone treat with the boy. I later added the kittens in the background to help complete the story and add to the sense of depth.

PRECIOUS. The moments you select to capture often distract me from the equally enjoyable study of the awesome skills evident in your work.

Wonderful mood. GREAT detail and the contrast of the kittens against the dark value of the barn DOES imply a nice depth. I love the subdued colors, almost makes it have a sort of nostalgic feel. Like a Rockwell!! BEAUTIFUL! GREAT ART!
