I'm starting to see this one, as color is layered in life starts to show which encourages me. If it didn't probably wouldn't paint.

Thanks everyone , if you have a constructive criticism feel free. I painted for an hour last night , American Pickers was on and the shop
would not not warm up enough to feel comfortable enough to paint.
This is interesting. I only paint under yellow light but the white light tends to see like the photo. To much blue for my taste.

No criticism. That face, especially the eyes, looks real. You have an amazing talent.

dave from my experiences with real critters,, they look blue gray in the winter coat and a touch more brown in the summer coat.. but the hair is super fine.. the first one o saw was laying at the edge of the road ready to pounce on some rabbits we were within 10yds of it before we saw it, it turned and looked our way and then launched into the bush..it was amazing how well they blended in with the road side.

So what your saying Larry I need a white light in the winter and yellow in the summer. I did this under yellow.

what i am saying dave is there coats are different shades in the two main seasons, so if you have a winter landscape then the grayer look would be correct or if its summer then the browner one.. kinda like painting a weasel in summer landscape with a white coat.. or opposite in the winter.. just a observation dave..

The lower part of the leg was done yesterday evening. After this evening that will will POP ! I think the leg is the main opponent to this painting.
