Jane, this is a lovely portrait, very well centered on the exchange of glances between the pair, and very cleanly painted.
I like very much the light/shadow contrast on the knees and, since the light source is very clearly placed, I think you might accentuate the shadows also on the shirt, maybe only with a glaze.
Michelle - Thanks so much - These two have a very sweet relationship.
Garth- Thanks. I loved your comment about the ad - especially since I actually hesitated to do this because it was so WHITE and it was almost a little too saccharine. But I had followed the two around for more than an hour shooting pics of them, and this really told their story. I appreciate your nice comments.
Ilaria, -Thanks very much. I am going to try what you suggest - it might make it a little richer. I appreciate the input.
Your work always strikes me as very fresh and direct and this one is no exception. You've caught that open, youthful boy and dog charm without being cloying or cutesy. I love the composition and the colors. Very nicely done, Jane!
