If it's an animal with fur, we want to see it in the October/November All-Media Paint-Off challenge.

I wanted to enter this watercolor & colored pencil sketch I just did as an idea for a later painting topic. 8x12 on smooth watercolor paper. It shows the plight of an abandoned dog in the snow. I named it " Out in the Cold." Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.

| THE BEGGAR
Amish children love their pets. Here are two Amish boys, carrying lunch pails, on the porch of their one-room school. Buffy, their dog, has followed them and is begging for a treat.
I did not work from photos, except for the dog, which belongs to a friend. The Amish do not like to be photographed, and I respect their wishes.

Love the Amish children. How wonderful to paint them from memory or was it from your family? The dog is also well done.

BELLA!
Watercolor on Yupo

This was my first attempt at painting my puppy as I remember her in the springtime running through and chomping on all the tulips!
Great fun to paint on Yupo!
