Description
Day 101 of my 366 daily art project! A lot more are on the way! Please read all about my project and charity below and in my journal.So many spots! And the detailed background was loads of fun - and a huge challenge to do with my left(non-dominant) hand. Such a cute puppy.
>>Created with pastels, Prismacolor colored pencils and highlighted with acrylic paint on 2.5x3.5 ACEO Bristol Vellum paper. About 4.5 hours.
-----------------
♥ For every day of 2012, I will be drawing one ACEO sketch card. Every single one will be for sale - ALL proceeds to be donated to charity at the end of 2012.
My charity of choice is a local foundation called Alternatives to Violence, who is currently raising money to build a safehouse. This safehouse will provide a secure shelter to men, women and children who have recently escaped physical and sexual abuse.
With the safehouse, 312 individuals every year will receive crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, advocacy and shelter.
Together, through art, we can help make a difference.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
If you love this piece and the safehouse project, you can see the card to purchase at Etsy for $11 + shipping: [link]

I'm so amazed at how you manage to get so much detail on this size. All of your Aceo's are very pretty. I especially like the detail on this one and love how youve done the spots and the eyes.

wow,, i saw the thumbnail and recon that it was one colorful complete drawing..
i mean so many layerz,, i see the sky , the green treez the leaves the flowerz,, "101 -day -dalmatian"(very thoughtful )
and the tiles,,,,
superbly executed and thought of,, i mean,, leaving that space open,, with very contrast-tic/ful light brown-ish color,,, is coool!!!
coz of that ,, no color or object "overpowered" the other
.. a balanced work!!!
those small sparklez in the eye really makes the dog alive!!
