Playing with the Dog, Playing with Shapes, Just Playing..

I had another 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" size sheet of Fabriano Artistico 140 lb. hard press paper and couldn't leave it blank. So I drew and painted a dog at play.

I loved exploring all the different values in this one. It was extraordinarily satisfying to do. A lot of joy in a small space.

This sketch is derived from a photograph at Morguefile that you can find here.











For Shadow Shot Sunday, I contribute a picnic table. I thought the circular shapes and shadows were interesting.



And because it has similar shapes, I throw in this photo. There is always construction here in Miami, whether we need it or not.
