Making changes...




I decided that the tiny painting of Booker as a puppy needed a bit of a change. It was just too much 'light vs. dark.' So I added a lime green to the bottom half of the background, which I think added some 'zing' and also divides the space in a more interesting way. That also made me need to change the leash from orange to red.

I try not to fret too much over these little paintings, but sometimes an overnight 'think' can help them out. Don't you think that this version is better?
