I painted a dog! It's been all cats but I've branched out...

[Ocelot II]

19. Thanks for the kind comments, everyone - I'd never done a dog before

and there are tricky parts of a dog that you don't find on cats - especially the nose. Cat ears are tricky because they are a complex shape, but dog noses are even trickier because the shape is complex and they are right in the middle of the face and they have a subtle shine. So I'm glad that you all think the painting turned out well. The dog's humans like it, too, which is especially important. The dog himself is really sweet but he'd probably rather have food than a portrait.
