Pensive (Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy) - 9x12" Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel

Originally, I had been working on a larger painting of my Hanna from a sketch I drew of her shortly before she passed away. I was having trouble getting her head the way I wanted it to look, so I thought I'd try a smaller version first. Then, as I was painting, I saw the puppy! She was just there on the canvas, waiting for me to bring her out! I tried to keep it very simple and loose, not wanting to have it end up looking overworked and "tight". I am happy with the result!
