This is my sweet dog Tobie and his favorite toy soccer ball that he'll let me throw all day and never tire. I did this piece in a watercolor media using fluid acrylics. I'm still undecided on the fluid acrylics. You can achieve brighter, richer color than with watercolors, but it's more difficult to resolve the hard edges.

Interesting observation about edges, Lyn! This is my always trouble with watercolor. Looks to me you did just fine with this dog, but yes, edges are night mare to fight with... I so understand you..
This is so adorable, Lyn. He really looks like he is ready to play!
What a gorgeous Collie! The brickwork and the lawn? Equally stunning!
I'm glad to share my love of art and my dog with the world.
