This fine young pup is Batman! He's the pup-child of my good friend, Amanda, who adopted Batman from her roommate her senior year of college.

He's handsome, but a bit of a scaredy-cat. He also has seperation anxiety, but hey who doesn't?

I've decided that I'm going to start making all of my paintings 140X140mm because I'm honestly getting over inches and not using the metric system in U.S. Personal preference I suppose.

I'm still working on adding more color and depth to my illustrations. Getting color to really pop with watercolors can be a challenge since they're so muted once they mix with water. Also mixing dark enough blacks without actually using black paint is a real trick.
All in all I'm very pleased with the results here.
