draw-in of Mikka

5"x7" oil on gessoboard

(or it will be once finished). I got carried away with a bit of portrait practice - playing with skin tones, & shapes, etc. I do have this little dog Mikka started, who is one of those cute little Shelties - they look like miniature collies. She is the funniest little thing. So dainty, cute & such a dear little prissy thing....that is until a school bus or dump truck (ie. large growly motors) rolls by and she goes ballistic. Funny, the small dogs make up for their size with mega-attitude. Hope to finish this gal tomorrow! I get to see her every day when I walk with my neighbors in the morning!
