The first oil of December, I've had WAY too long of a break. The project at work that has consumed me is mostly done now, and I can hopefully get back to my regular life. I decided on the cute beagle, free-handed the drawing and painted fast. It looks a bit too fast if you ask me, kind of sloppy. But it was my foot coming back in the door, me getting back up on the horse, a begin-again, so I didn't want to get bogged down with anything that would make me go back to a non-painting existence. According to Bob Ross, people who paint are a "happy bunch", who wouldn't want to be part of that? I think I got the likeness of the face ok, he's just rather too loose perhaps, the shoulder is missing and the back hip is incomplete. I'm not going to put the source picture here, as it leads me to criticize my work even more than what I've already just done.
