  5. I really like that you didn't get carried away with every little hair on this cutie! The blocks of colour along with the stroke of the brush gives the piece so much life!

  6. Love this little guy! Really great job on the fur...and that face. He is so cute and at the same time looks like he would take and ankle off. Sweet expression. Your pet portraits are always so full of life and personality!

  15. What a captivating painting, Suzanne: wonderful job you did!

    I especially appreciate the understated fur texture. It looks so soft and "stroke-able" and yet you've kept it looking like paint, which I love. Economy of brushstroke is something I strive for but often get carried away wanting it to be realistic. Photographic realism has its charms but painterly is so much more interesting.
