The Theo Tilt - Day 7

6x6
oil on gesso board

Day 7 of
The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge


I love back lighting and Theo is our dog so this was a great subject matter for me.   I did a drawing ahead of time so I think that made it easier when I got started.    I'll write more about the process and add it after this very busy day is over:-)

Happy Painting!

      Thank you Fay! Something about knowing the subject matter so well, made the painting experience more instinctive for this one.
