I forgot that I took these photos. They're from last week...Thane and I met up with our friend Boomie and her little dog Dexter for a walk in the woods. Once we got there, though, we also crossed paths with another dog Thane and I had met maybe a month ago. Meet Puma:
Believe it or not, he's still a baby, He's a Leonberger, and even though he's younger than Thane by a few months, he outweighs him by 20-30 pounds. He seems like a nice dog - like most of the giant breeds, he's pretty chill.
The dogs had a good time playing. Dexter could care less about the other dogs, but Thane and Puma spent most of the walk wrestling and chasing each other. I don't know about Puma, but Thane was pooped by the end of the walk!!
Today, instead of a walk in the woods, Thane and I had several Frisbee sessions in the back yard. Tomorrow I'll have to take him on a nice long walk.
This afternoon I randomly sat down at my desk and did something I haven't done for quite a while - I exercised my slightly dubious artistic skills! :D
Mom is very generously calling them "Folk Art."
I kind of like them...and I kind of think that I need to work on getting the animals more anatomically correct and make the lettering a bit smoother.
It was fun, though! :)
Tomorrow, the weather's supposed to be nice, so hopefully I'll get to some outdoor projects - including laying out the borders of the garden I hope to plant with my niece!
Good work for your first try, especially since lettering by brush is harder than lettering by pen. Speaking of pen, did you pencil in the lettering/basic shapes first? That might help too =)
