Lolo

Lolo
6x6, soft pastel

Day...hummm, what day is this anyway, painting #8?  30in30 Challenges can turn into 30 days all blurred together!  Add to that, our winter had been epic for Idaho.  We've had snow on the ground for probably a month already.  Most winters we have a couple snowfalls, nothing very big, which quickly melt away after a few days.  This winter we've had a large amount of snow (18 inches or so in the past couple days) which is set to melt next week when normal temps return.  It causes one to stay inside quite a bit...which is a good thing if you're doing a 30in30 Challenge...but bad for the lack of exercise.

This is my "grand-dog" Lolo.  Below is an oil painting of her too...but it's SO bad, I'm not posting it for sale unless I get it fixed and then I'll repost it.   Ha!  Oils continue to challenge me.  I must persevere!

  1. I believe oils challenge everyone, but you got pastels down pat. Love this little guy with his vibrant button eyes.

    1. Thanks Nelva...I always love the intensity of a dog's eyes. Regarding oils...I think I'll have to watch a few more YouTube videos! Always the student!!!

    1. Thanks Nancy. Typically they're called paintings although some people do use pastel pencils I which case they're considered drawings. I have a soft spot for dogs...and especially this sweet little girl who's about 12 weeks old.
