to finish her mouth and I am still working on the white fur to make it
realistic. I have yet to do her paws and decking and a small amount of
adjustment around her eyes. I should be able to finish her by the end of next
week or early following week.</span><span style="color: #e69138;">If you enjoyed this post please consider becoming a follower of my blog. See the Followers section down the right side of my blog.

Riot Art and Craft benefit as well as my students are already buying art materials from their store. Also had a banner made to advertise my classes.

Also nearly completed the portrait of the German Short Haired Pointer. I don't think I can post it here safely as it is to be given as a gift. Soon will begin the Bassett Hound commission and I think I should be able to post a WIP of that one. Also can't wait to get back to the Acrylic of the yachts but no time yet.Sally McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00584997976014195648noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921181777287199400.post-56117985544311820482011-05-25T17:29:00.000-07:002011-05-25T21:08:27.511-07:00Art Classes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQnCPRuzUT4/Td3SGhG9YZI/AAAAAAAAArs/dbarYSMTLbw/s1600/B+to+G+Api+and+LR+work+in+progress+may+26+%255B640x480%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQnCPRuzUT4/Td3SGhG9YZI/AAAAAAAAArs/dbarYSMTLbw/s320/B+to+G+Api+and+LR+work+in+progress+may+26+%255B640x480%255D.jpg" t8="true" width="269" /></a></div><div align="center">Work in Progress!</div><br />
