ZOE, A Greyhound by Valarie Wolf
This is a portrait of Zoe, a lovely brindle greyhound done in the realistic style on a small 6" x 8" panel. The brindle stripes were a challenge---the reference photo had to be taped at 1" intervals to make sure I was getting the stripes in the right places. The muted dark green background really shows off her coat color.
Thanks for looking!

Nice job with the coat pattern! My friend (and fellow greyhound pet portraitist) agree that we should charge more for brindles! ;)
Wow!All that detail in something so small!Bravo!
