Dog Toy Painting Series

I've started a series of still lives featuring my tiny six pound dog Carol's toys. This week's was a bit of a failure. I struggled with this one all day, only to find once I finished it that I had accidentally painted it on a pastel canvas, which would explain all the trouble I had with the paint drying too quickly and reacting badly to the board. I'm gonna take another shot at this one next week as it was also my first commissioned piece. Oops.

this is a friends cat toy with a great chewed up face, and a very sweet story behind the toy.
