So many things our favorite friends rely on us for; shelter, play, love and food, although this one would have his meal from the garbage can if you'd let him. He eats and drinks water, to excess, so we have to dole his food out carefully in parts, or it comes right back up. Here he waits, I help to calm him...he would do anything for food. His name is Bailey and he is a Weimaraner. 
"Nocturnal Cloud Gate" - 12" x 16" oil painting on stretched canvas
This week's challenge on "Different Strokes from Different Folks"... "Cloud Gate" (also called "the bean") is an awesome sculpture which resides in Millennium Park in Chicago. The daytime reference photo can be seen on Karin's site. I decided to translate my 'bean' into night viewing with lights abound on the night skyline. I have been craving to paint a nocturnal scene, so I made this one 'at night'. It was another surprisingly fun one to paint! Also, you can read Charley Parker's article about Karin's new blog here.
