A few arts

[balaa]

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!




Brittany Spaniel winning best in show..he looks rather proud. Came up with that sketch at 3 am this morning..


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'

I love the Spaniel:) He's so charming. Love that left paw in particular.

I'm completely bowled over by the colouring on the Leopard. It's so wonderfully bold and confident. For some reason he looks like a cheetah to me. Not sure why cause you got the markings and head shape down just fine. I think it might be the slightly shaggy fur, something that cheetahs have more than leopards. It doesn't interfere at all with my enjoyment of the piece. Just an observation:)

some leopards are actually quite fluffy..the African leopard seems to have short short fur but the Amur and Chinese leopards seem to be a good deal fluffier :D.

Thank you for the comments, always a pleasure to receive kind words about my rm work from a talented Real media artist!
