I really like your painting of Shy. You were in the moment and you captured him. He looks like a wonderful dog.
It's probably silly to ask other Artists to do a portrait of their pet. What do you think about it?
Certainly not silly at all! The world is full of famous paintings showing pets or animals in general. I personally would never hang on my walls a painting of an animal even if it's my pet. However that doesn't refrain me from painting Shy which I did as an exercise.
