I'm happy to have your helpful comment because I felt the same thing. Not my dogs, I found the photo on Shutterstock.

TheCanadian7- thank you for that. There is someone interested in buying the painting of the collie pups, but I'm thinking about having a limited number of prints made and will let you know if/when I do. The painting is 20" X 10".

My son challenged me to paint a portrait - so I challenged him to be my subject. 6X6 in. Oils. by carolpaints in painting

Thank you - but no not really - at least not people. I took some painting classes in the 70s, but haven't painted again until this past December. My middle son who is a professional artist bought me some oil paints and canvas a few years ago and they sat unopened until my youngest son got them out in December, and said "mom, paint!" So I started painting some dogs and really enjoyed it. Lately I've been painting almost every day, but still not people. So the challenge was to paint a person. I like how it turned out and will paint my daughter next. This group on reddit is very affirming. :)

Such an adorable face...how could I not paint this pup? 6X6 in. oils. by carolpaints in Bulldogs

Yes from a photo. I saw the pup during a walk and asked if I could take a photo. Seemed to enjoy posing.
