Dottie!
Just taking a break to show you my portrait of Dot who is nearly finished and hopefully will make a great surprise gift for Valerie's husband next month.
This is Valerie's photo of Dottie which she asked me to base the painting on. You can probably spot a few changes here this is to ensure I get a good view of Dotties expressive eyes and a good focus on Dottie rather than the busy patterns around her. The choke chain was left out to simplify things and I moved her front paw so the nothing would be left out of view if I zoomed in.
