Dog in Reindeer Costume- Finished Painting

Pretty self explanatory. This was a challenge because I had several photos of a dog-shaped blur to work from, some costumed and some not, but I managed to cobble them together into this very cut dog portrait. I always hate to tell people "these pictures are no good" because I know it's hard to take pictures of animals, and I don't want to be branded as "difficult" to work with. But I was breaking into the Excedrin when this one was done.

Humiliated Dog Portrait

There is a first time for everything. I have been commissioned to paint this little fella in a reindeer costume. He doesn't look put off by the costume, though. Perhaps he really enjoys it.

Here's the doggy portrait, all done. What a happy little guy playing on the sunshiney grass. It makes me miss summer, bugs and all.

New Dog Portrait

I don't know what sort of dog this is. It's very cute. Sometimes I think I should get a dog. It might be nicer for the two boys who are sort of rough with our remaining cat. I'm not much for going out in the cold when I don't have to, though. Or for picking up poop from the sidewalk. Maybe I should look into getting some goldfish.
