Yellow Lab in a Swimming Pool

Well, it's been a long time in coming, but I've finally completed a portrait of Jack! I started off with the idea of painting his portrait using Acrylic, but the photograph just wasn't working out for me.

He was posed in front of a white rabbit... yes, a white rabbit. His light coloured fur blended right into the background so I couldn't get much of an idea of where he ended and the bunny began.

Asking his "mama" for another photograph made me change directions completely. The picture of him in his blue kiddy pool was just too tempting to ignore. Take a look and see what you think!
