"Happy?" 7 x 5 Acrylic on Panel I am not trying to photograph Joey (to those of you that have not been introduced, he is the furriest of my 2 kids and has 4 legs unlike my other one...) ALL off the time, he just thinks I am. I admit this was a more "in his face" kind of pose and, yes, I suppose a bit bright! He was a happy guy after having just come in from a romp amongst the cacti, chasing lizards. (Yes, he runs through the cacti, and no , do not report me! He somehow does it and fortunately the little green visitors are usually left unharmed as well. Not a sight for a mother to watch!) Joey's fur and eyes do look different in some of the photos I take but this one I chose to use and paint him by exaggerating the light and have the fur be close to white on his face to contrast against his eyes and nose. I of course had to play with colors in the fur. It was hard to stop! I enjoyed this and could spend hours more on it... Thank you for stopping a moment to visit! click on my blog to leave a comment.
