I do not normally do commissions however could not resist an attractive ladies want. This is my painting of her female Alsation.

Nicely done. I like your work it has lots of emotion and movement, quite dynamic. Personally I prefer "art" to someone tracing a photograph. When people criticize my work for being "too loose" or whatever, I suggest that they purchase some good photographic work, which I admire for its' own esthetics also. People who equate a stylistic preference to a qualitative standard are,at best, ignorant, at worst, simply boorish and generally ill mannered..

Great work!
