Description . . . or `The last snow`.
The big one is dying of tuberculosis and the small one got 12 children to feed. . . or something like that. I love tragedy ( or I`m simply morbid)
Watercolour and coloured pencil.

I really like how their bodies are very human but they have teh heads of dogs. Plus the piper is a schnauzer and I love them!!!

such a wonderful ambience; it gives a Bakerstreet (Sherlock Holmes' era) feel to the observer.
there are a few things wrong with the violin positioning, but if your not a violinist, they are hard to notice.
plus, i just love how the dog's jowls are drooping over the chin rest. that definitely makes up for it.

...and I wanted to say something like "What an adorable painting, so cute..." Uhm, tb and 12 children to feed in the dead of winter... Maybe not so adorable, heartbreaking may be a more suitable word... yeah, thatΒ΄s it; heartbreakingly beautiul...

I love this picture. It is amazing. Thoe only problem I see is that there is no fur on the hands... it seems a bit odd to me.

The face of the Hound is very beautiful in it's own way, you've truely managed to capture the natural expression of the breed in RL and place it into the simple yet sad image. You can even see the pain of the illness in his eyes, the poor big fellow. He looks so large compared to the little Terrier, but you look at his thin fragile fingers and take note of his hunched posture and can't help but feel a deep sorrow for him.
A lovely piece, really.

I love it, its very lovely but I'm sorry to say that left handed violinists are very rare and positions are a bit funny, but it looks like a painstaking piece

I realized it myself when I had finished the sketch and tried to change it, but it somehow destroyed the composition. Besides, I play flute not violin, so please be undulgent .

How sad their predicament is. They look really into their music though!
I like how this turned out. The colours all work lovely together and the background works with the characters. This shot says alot.
