I wanted to paint this little dog with some fantasy flair. This dog is basically my creation I don't know if there are any dogs that look exactly like this in the world, I'm sure definitely not this colorful. I looked at a few photos of puppies and dogs to get ideas of what type of dog I wanted to create and paint. I played with different colors until I got a result that I liked. I wanted this dog to look very cute and mysterious much like my kitten image.
