Finally got around to trying out a more realistic technique painting my dog

Drew my beloved doggie. It was fun figuring out how to stylize him. I think next time I'd like to try a more realistic detailed painting of him.

One thing I think is so funny about Ori is that he knows I don't like being licked on the face. I've always just pulled away with an ew and now he doesn't even try. But when he meets someone who lets him do it he just goes crazy kissing them

1. A dog is full of joy

[great-and-small]

I can’t stop getting emotional about how tenderly a shepherd caresses his dog’s face on this marble sarcophagus from the third century

The dog’s face is just so lovingly crafted and it’s much more finely detailed than some of the other animals in the piece. The expression is pure contentment and devotion. This scene is a tiny portion of a huge elaborate sculpture but I really feel like the artist was trying to capture a specific emotion with these two. The way that you feel when you look at your dog is thousands of years old.

An extract from Cynegeticus [On Hunting (with Dogs)], by the Greek writer Arrian (86-160 CE), about his dog, Horme [Dash]:

While I am at home she remains by my side, and accompanies me when I go out, following me to the gymnasium, and, while I am exercising, sits by me. On my return home, she runs in front of me, often looking to see whether I had turned off the road; and as soon as she catches sight of me, shows symptoms of joy, and again, turns and trots in front of me. If I am going out on any government business, she remains with my friend, and treats him exactly the same. If she has not seen either of us for a short time, she jumps up repeatedly by way of greeting, and barks with joy. At meals she pats us, with one foot and the other, to remind us to feed fer. Having been beaten with a whip as a puppy, if anyone, even to this day, mentions a whip, she will come up to the speaker cowering and begging, and will jump up and hang on their neck, applying her mouth to theirs as if to kiss them, and will not let go until she is appeased. Now really I do not think that I should be ashamed to write the name of this dog; so that it may be left to posterity. [I] had a greyhound named Horme, who was of the greatest speed and intelligence and, was altogether excellent.

Rb and put in the tags a breed mix that should exist exclusively for you

When it comes to people at our door Ori barks the absolute perfect amount. Just a couple of woofs usually and quiets down when asked. Very appreciated because of apartment living. But he does absolutely lose it if a stranger tries to come in unaccompanied while we are sleeping as I learned yesterday when the maintenance people chickened out and fled. They didn’t even open the door far enough to see him in locked up in a crate.
