The Dog

by Earleywine in Charcoals

17 x 23 Charcoal

This guy was tied up in front of one of the horse barns at the fair. There were hundreds of people walking by and he never lifted his head. Would just roll his eyes once at them once in awhile. I was in Love !!!! Had to draw him

  You guys are just being too nice to me:). Thanks ! I am super pumped tonight - finally had a gallery sale (Mountain Music). It has been several months - a long winter, thank goodness for commission work. Now I can keep painting for at least another couple months! Yeah!

  It is good to hear that you have work, even though 'commissions' can be rather...boring?...I'm glad that you're showing and people are buying. The current economy is not great for artists.

  No, its not. My last gallery sale was in October! Of course, it hasn't helped that we had record snowfall and such this winter. Am hoping for a lot of sales this summer to carry me through another winter

  I know a few people up your way...Mostly Billings and north west of there. I lived in the Colorado Rockies for a bit before coming back to flatland here in Cleveland. But I heard a lot of people out west had a hard time of it this winter. I think we got what was left-over, here.

:D...too cute!!! I love the expression in his eyes!!! He looks a little ticked off that he's on a leash...lol. Actually...not ticked off. More like disgusted...lmao. I love it!!!! Dogs are so much more expressive than people give them credit for!

  I think he was disgusted and bored with the whole thing. I love drawing dogs - they carry their souls in their eyes

Bulldogs know. Awesome charcoal. I'm always impressed by the individual expressiveness of this medium. Great detail ...especially the paws.
