It's amazing how tricky this much fur can be to paint... it's kinda all over the place, wonderfully fluffy, and you have to get the undercolors as well as the over layer of top hairs. Plus there's that position of the nose, long and elegant and slightly to the side, so I have to make sure I'm getting the mouth in the proper angle under the nose... I think it worked. There's also the sublte shading in the eyes- I know they are probably brown, but the glint and shine look grey and blue. It's really fun figuring it all out!
And here's Lance's story- one I have NOT heard before!
One of Lance’s favorite activities is climbing up grassy or snow-covered slopes then sliding down them on his back. At first, he slid spontaneously; now he (sometimes) slides on command, especially if he has an audience of passersby and their dogs.
