After spending way too much time thinking about background and practicing with a couple of different ideas, I reached the final decision that less is more. I have opted to go with a pale shade to accent Biscuit's dark rich colours. The rocks were a last minute thing, and placing them unobtrusively under water played in with the rest of the washy look (an insightful observation by hubby). All in all, I am quite satisfied with the final piece. As such, I have finished painting Biscuit.
Working on such a small scale was new for me and I learned a lot. It is clear that you could spend a life time with water colour and you could still learn and be surprised at the outcome. After all, water is fluid and has a mind of its own so mastering it is probably a pipe dream for me but it is fascinating and I enjoy it immensely. A toast to Biscuit 🍷

Wow...I wonder what your next commission will ...maybe an action shot. I took a video of a moth and wasp fighting...yikes! Maybe not.
