Thanks for looking and sharing your views guys!

Chris, after tackling my son Bracken it has left me in the portait mood. I haven't done very many and there are always lessons learned when doing that are kept fresh when one stays with the same subject matter. For now my wife has me tweaking convention a little by doing something that is edgy, at least for my style, by attempting a large painting of my dog Buster ascending into heaven with angel wings, halo and all! A posthumous portrait of my father is next, some family members and probably last for now the self!

Thanks Mark and Lon for stepping in!

Mike, The painting is 18x24 linen. I set up a delayed camera on a tri-pod and hurried in front of it in a dark bedroom with a sliver of light coming in by the window.
