A few arts

Got another card for the kennel Club Deck, the Brittany Spaniel. I used to groom a few of them back when I worked at a grooming shop, very sweet dogs..a few of them had a very proud/haughty demeanor..but I liked them for that.

Also finished or rather/almost finished the leopard painting and planning another painting, not sure of what just yet.

OOH and does anyone know of a good place where I can buy cheaply priced but good quality mat board?? I need to start matting pieces for AC and I really don't want to pay the outrageous prices of mat board at Michaels. So if anyone has websites or good places to go in Washington state, I'd greatly appreciate it!

The finished leopard piece..the photo desaturated some of the colors..but I shall take better pictures tomorrow and tweak things that are bugging me. Piece will be called 'I Will Protect you'..roughly 10.5 x 13 inches

And an ambigram concept for the back of the kennel club deck..they will likely not use it but I had fun designing it nonetheless. Hopefully you can read that it says 'TheKennelClub'

The colors in the leopard piece are wonderful. :) One time I painted with acrylics and
I wasn't really happy with the result 'cause the paint dried far too fast.
I'm painting a leo, too but it'll take another few weeks 'cause I paint with oils and the previous layer has to dry before I can start a new layer.
Anyway, can't wait to see more rm pieces from you :D
