"Thirsty" oil painting

12x16
oil on gessoed board 
Just off my easel 12x16 oil painting of a tiger drinking. I would love to say that I painted from my own photo but since I have never witnessed a tiger drinking, I want to thank Emmanuel Keller for offering his amazing photography for use as reference in this painting."

"German Shorthair Pointer" ink wash

6x6
Ink wash
Now that the challenge is over, I am working on commissions that I was working on in between my daily posts. I have a logo commission and this is the first of 7 ink drawings that will be part of the logo. I like working in black and white as a change of pace paying attention to my values (lights and darks) so the subjects look realistic.
