Day 4: St. Bernard

4x4
acrylic on panel

Remember yesterday's post? Can you see that everything that was in the shadow pattern remains darker than anything in light? OK, there is that highlight on his ear but even that is not as light as the light areas. Thanks to those who left a comment yesterday! I think everyone guessed a dog and one person got St Bernard!

  9. The nose still gets my admiration. Wonderful the way it comes forward and the eyes set back with perfect values.

  10. Wonderful, Kaethe, absolutely wonderful--really all the paintings just floor me. I have tried to leave comments and my computer, which has the intermittent problem, has interfered every time, until now...fingers crossed as I hit publish....please know I am watching your work, even if I can't comment all the time...
