I started doing this painting as a silent auction item I donated. This dog was wonderful to paint, so happy, so much spirit. I loved painting Matti and it came easy. I don’t know why but the first round on this painting things fell into place. I was really happy with the first run. The second was just some tweeking and the the third sitting was about looking and viewing and finding what makes it really pop, as far as a painting can.

I just had to do a few tweeks on Matti, what a happy painting. This last shot has a little less contrast but I think that is just the photo.
