This is Bonnie, a very smart, sweet dog that belongs to my brother in-law & his wife. She is such a lovely dog and wonderful personality. She makes a wonderful subject, always ready to have fun, run, or come get petted. She loves traveling in the car as well. I am going to have to get one of these beautiful dogs as I keep borrowing then from family members. LOL! I digitally painted this using an electronic drawing tablet (Wacom tablet( & it's wireless stylus pen-not a computer mouse. It hooks up to the computer, I use art software, Corel's Painter X, to draw, paint, select colors, mediums to mimic, textures, blends of paints, as I would with a real canvas. This is not a photo manipulation or the results of an auto convert to artistic effect work. It took hours, days to complete. In the close up you can see all the brush strokes & blends of the palette paints I used. It was a joy to work on.
