Pug Watercolor

"Smiling Pug looking for a Snack" (12"X16", Watercolor, $150)

I love pugs. I didn't used t, but I have come to really like their enthusiasm and their smiling faces. This is a rather tubby one, but that only makes him seem more robust to me.
I often think about owning a black pug, and if I ever do get a dog I think that will be the one that I get. I'll name him "Sargent" after John Singer Sargent, my favorite painter.
I think this watercolor came out quite well, with the folds in the skin and the buttery color of the fur. I also like his eyes that seem to be saying, "You and I could be good friends."
