Hi!
I finally found some time (took a little break between comissions) and painted a painting of my son and Raider.
Here it is:

another quick question. I always have trouble trying to give the glossy eye appearance like you have on Raider's eyes... what's your trick?

Hi!
It is oil on canvas.
Creating eyes is my specialty and it took me a while before I finally made them look like they do.
Thank you all for your posts!
Katja
Wow...that's simply amazing!

I am having a long talk with myself right now about the direction i want my art to go. EIther i can keep scrambling after what everyone wants me to do, or i can get back the resolve i had two years ago and declare no commissions. IT is very hard to do.
HAts off to you for making a piece of yourself, (and if your like me, it is almost the most important part of all) for your son. To see himself through your eyes. WEll done and applause. Your painting is stunning!

Well I took a lot of pics that day with my son and our two boys, from flying dogs to portrait photos so he was getting tired. :lol-sign:
