A Lady & her Hound

[Richard Monro]

David,

The two legged variety is as well done as the hound. Your client must be well pleased. I really like how you handled the ground cover and background bushes. I can feel and smell the autumn in the picture.

The hounds expression is priceless. From what I see here portraits are no problem for you.

[David Dowbyhuz]

Thanks very much, Richard. Your opinion is reassuring.

Best,
Dave

David,

I think you successfully show the relationship between the woman and her dog, as well as the kind and warm personality of the woman. Nice composition and color scheme, too.

[David Dowbyhuz]

Thank you, Alexandra. You're very kind. Every portrait I've yet attempted seems to result in the realization of what I could have done to improve it if I had a second opportunity. I've never yet exercised the discipline to start over and try again!
