Number 3
Mood:  a-ok

Number three in my coloured pencil series - "Ghost". A weimeraner watching the AAC Ontario Agility Regionals (yes, I got lots of photos from the event). I choose a blue background for this piece (not using the reference photo background) because it offset the grey, yet blended slighty into the tones of the dog. The dog was wearing a halter the reference photo as well, which I removed, and completely changed the collar colour - I felt it was too busy for the piece.

 

And now, Brandy and I are off to a CPE trial with Acton Agility tomorrow - looking forward to it. I'm going to attempt to use the b-a-l-l once again as a reward (I have to spell it or she goes crazy). Long story short, the ball is EXTREMELY motivational for her - too much so, but when I can control her insane desire for that object, her performances are amazing. I'm trying it out to see if I can use it for a reward at the upcoming Canada Cup. So we'll either have a really good day tomorrow, or really bad ... here's hoping she can control herself.
