This is a speedpainting of my parent's dog, Jackie. Not sure if you can call it a speedpainting since it took me 1.5 hours.

I love Jackie to bits , he is always the first one to greet me when I visit my parents and is a great comfort to everyone that knows him. The green tennis ball is his greatest possesion and obsession. His greatest skill is him barking with the ball still in his mouth.
Gorgeous painting, the color balance feels spot on for a warm, quiet moment, and you perfectly captured balled-up-sleeping-dog. The amount of detail works too, especially with the background fading into shadow.
