    Wow these dogs are really beautiful, great use of lighting and expression of the dogs’ characters! :)

    If I wanted to feature my own paintings, how would I go about is? I have created many dog portraits which can be viewed here: Dog and Pet Portraits by Chloe Waterfield

    Keep up the great work in the promotion of the arts! :)
