PAINTING MOLLY

Shanus — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 12:25:23 GMT

Snowed in and working on a watercolor portrait of Molly. I got her to sit still long enought to take a few photos.

3"-4" of snow...Temps still below 30 so many roads iced over. It's a great time to paint.

That's pretty good, @Shanus. I have no artistic talent of any kind.

@Judaline Thank you. Watercolors are more difficult because I have to do a bit each day, let it dry (dries lighter than what was applied) and need to keep going back to add details. I think it's looking just like her.

@Shanus Oh, she's a sweetie. Too bad she won't appreciate the painting. (or WILL she? lol)

@Judaline She's smart. She does have a dog bed next to my painting table and keeps me company for hours at a time. She does appreciate her treats for sitting still.

What a cutie, and what a great job you did, @Shanus . I love your rendering of her big, dark eyes, and how you captured her sweet expression.

it definitely was a "should I share" moment. Posting something so personal online is iffy.

@Shanus OMG - I absolutely LOVE it! You're so talented Shanus! And Molly is a dream! ❤️❤️

I thank you and Molly thanks you, too. BTW, she celebrated her 12th birthday last week and is still able to run in the snow and jump on and off my high bed.

@cindyNC Thanks Cindy. Do you have snow there, too?

Great job @Shanus

We've been in the house since Monday afternoon due to inclement weather and especially dangerous wind chill temperatures. Should be a little warmer tomorrow and above freezing on Saturday. Long week just like most everyone else.

I wish I could paint like you.

@Shanus. Molly is looking good. How long did it take you to get that eyeliner on her? My Misty has it too, and it takes me forever.

Are you going to have a place for your arts and crafts in the new house?

It’s a beautiful picture ( watercolor) of your pup!

@Shanus Great job! I can sure see the likeness.

Molly has the most beautiful big eyes and you captured them so well.

I've never done watercolors, other than one class in school and it was difficult to keep the very liquidity colors in place...they just wanted to flow and smear all over the place. haha
