Lovely painting Jan, and as the owner of a very small J.R.T. with a very big personality, this post really appeals to me ;o)
Great painting Jan with lots of movement.
I photographed a JRT demonstrating 'fly ball' at a dog show last year and he was faster and much more exuberant than all the bigger dogs (which were mostly Border Collies)
That's lovely, Jan... and he looks like he's really in the wind!
Thank you, Geraldine! Until I got a small dog, I didn't realize how smart they can be and what abilities they possess!
Thank you, Sue. I wish there were events like that closer to us. It must be fun to see one in person!
Thanks, Teresa! He does look as if he's flying, doesn't he!
you've got lots of movement in this one Jan. Its great.
I have had small dogs and they're pretty agile and do well in trials like this.
I haven't tried gouache for some reason. I think the opaqueness puts me off a bit being used to watercolour. But it does have lots of potential.
It looks great and I think you had fun with this one. I like the way you worked the colors together.

Thanks, Jeanette. I think the gouache suits me since I tend to be so heavy-handed with watercolors. I guess they suit my oil background better as they work in a similar manner.
Thanks, Christine. I'm still learning how to work with gouache and hope to get better with it in time.
