Day 9, bunch of pictures

For my face a day, I painted a dog. She is a very special dog that now lived in doggy heaven.I painted this for a dear friend who is missing her so much, after many years of companionship. I hope she likes it ♥
Acrylics on 11x14 canvas
(Tomorrow I am doing another doggy in heaven)

   


Also, a drawing from my daughter:(She doesn't really need one, but don't tell her I said that)

Keep reading after the brake so you can see work in progress pictures, and another drawing from my girl that I forgot to include yesterday :oP

My kid's face from yesterday:
And now my WIP's from today's painting:

Love your painting Ayala... such a fabulous likeness and awesome to see the progress steps... your daughter's drawings are very sweet...
Having so much trouble leaving messages on blogs with word verifications... will only work on the first blog after I sign in and then the same verification word repeats and wont publish... such a shame... I am loving everyone's work...

Hugs

Love your daily faces, your daughter and the monster made me laugh. The doggie portrait is priceless, you did a terrific job of capturing his sweet expression. It will mean so much to your friend.
