Sweet Fetching Hound

If any of you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, this big adorable boy probably looks familiar.  This is Chewy, one of the dogs at our local shelter.  He is a big, goofy sweetheart!  I had a wonderful time playing with him last week.  When he first came to us he was scared and shy.  Luckily, it didn't take long for him to learn to trust us and open up.  This was a great piece for me to practice my more "mindful" approach to painting.  I tried focusing on intentional, simple strokes of color.  In the end I started to get into that simplicity killing mode of perfectionism.  I stopped before I went too crazy, thank goodness.  I hope you enjoy it!
