Hopefully finished

I am finally finished with this piece (hopefully), but the whiskers seem to be causing some problems. Do they annoy you? I could re-do them or just get rid of them completely, but I've been looking at it without the whiskers for so long that I can't really tell if they work or not. If you have suggestions about that or anything else on this one I would be glad to hear it!

Concentration pieces, sort of

So here are my "three" pieces for this month, obviously I'm a bit behind.

I changed the background a little for this one, and decided not to add color. I like the blue background idea though-- that might be what it needs to make it more interesting.

Ok, so obviously this isn't an actual piece, but this is the plan for one later! Yeah, sure.

Anyway I'm not really certain what to do for the background of this one, maybe lots of thick paint and a faint "spotlight" of lighter color coming down on the dog?

???

Despite its lack of existence, this is my favorite one so far, I think.

I really don't even want to talk about this one, for obvious reasons.

All I can say is that it's a work in progress...
