And this is Barkley

Barkley 8 by 10 watercolor on Fabriano cold press paper ©Maria's Watercolor Art
This is the third of three pet portraits painted for a friend.  

Found this to be a new challenge, working from three different photos with such different color and lighting and trying to keep them all in a similar color scheme, so they will look OK hanging together. Also the size of each dog is difficult to estimate when they are in separate photos. 

  Hmmm, Always something new to ponder!

  5. Barkley reminds me of a Spinone, though I think I've said that before. He's beautiful, Maria!
