I will be coming back next week, to put the finishing touches on this. I think I've got the dog's head as good as it's gonna get. I worked on the fur today, but I think I'll touch it up a bit more. I need to get rid of that shadow area on the back leg. The only major thing left to do is the detail in the tree tops.
I have found out that painting fur is diabolically difficult. I have also found out that I tend to be a "dabber", whereas George Stubbs painted every individual tuft of fur in a unique manner. There is no way that I am going to be able to replicate that, I'm afraid.
