I may still work on her a bit, but, for all intensive purposes, she is complete. I assiduously worked on drawing her first. I produced a rather accurate drawing, then I painted her more impressionistically than usually. Looking at her now on the computer screen, I may work on the wrinkles under her eyes, and I see I failed to add her collar-paints are away, so that will be work for tomorrow. I had much fun painting her, since I handled the paint more loosely than normally. I like the effect, too. Admittedly, the composition is not entirely mine-it is my father's. I used one of his photographs, but I cropped her hind legs off because she would have looked like she was floating in space if I had her plopped in the middle of the canvas. To balance her out, I also cropped her front paw. I don't think my father will sue me, though.
