This has actually been flowing very nicely today. It’s currently about 8:45 and I’ve rather pleased with my progress for the day. I’ve got more to do for the day, not even close to done yet. But I thought this was a good time to stop, take a picture, evaluate where I’m at and how I want to go next and then get back to it.

I’m thinking her eyes and nose will be next. Her eyes I will get mostly finished before I do the hair around them, and her nose I will get partially finished as well. I do have some adjustments to do to her ears, I see that now, but that won’t take but a few swipes of the brush I think. We’re firmly in the ugly stage now, and it’ll say this way for a bit. Don’t worry, though, it’s all part of the painting process, and this is honestly one of the first times I’ve been excited to hit the ugly stage. It means I’m further along than I thought I’d be by now. :)

Some work on the dog herself.
