This is a painting of a photograph of my mom and her dog, Moonshine, in the 1970's on a beach in Santa Cruz. They both loved each other very much and I though that the picture really captured their relationship.

It is really very realistic and beautiful. The wet texture of the dog's fur and girl's hair is understandable. Really well done.

This looks very realistic. I like how it is just black and shadows.

I love the way you used light and dark to show the texture of the girl's wet hair, how it hangs in strands.  I like how the dog looks thoughtful as if he or she is thinking about something the girl is whispering in his/her ear, although maybe the girl is just kissing the dog.  Great job!
