| "Rocky" - 12 x 12 inches - oil on canvas |
I recently painted this Westie named "Rocky". I've never met Rocky but was given a number of reference photos to work from. Things got a bit tricky as I was asked to place Rocky in this outdoor setting but use this particular pose which was from an indoor shot. Before I began, I used Photoshop to combine the two reference photos and basically cut Rocky out of the indoor photo and inserted him into this outdoor setting. Combining references isn't too difficult as long as you pay attention to the light and shadows and make everything look consistent.

Rocky is adorable and so well done! Great job on combining reference material iand keeping that consistency with light and shadow! His face is so sweet!
Completely irresistible! Great job in the reflected blue shadows and brushwork.
