This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)
a cavapoo with long hair in various shades of gray sits and poses for the camera. his mouth is open and his pink tongue sticks out, his curly hair situated every which way on the top of his head. text on the image says, "the dog i dropped off." a photo of the cavapoo with text that reads, "the dog i picked up." the pup's luscious fur has been trimmed all the way down, leaving him with a skinny body, but fluffy ears and tail. the pup looks at the camera with an uncanny human expression of disgust. he looks very angry about his new hairdo.

Perspective is off… composition is mediocre…
Cast shadow needs work…
However, this was the piece that made me realize I could draw.
Thanks to the guidance of Chuck Liese teaching painting, and the Marywood “Get your Masters with the Maters program”.

LGBTQIA+ As we resist those who claim diversity distorts scholarship, let’s run through the acronym & show how easy it is to find the rainbow in every era. We don’t even need to look beyond the Renaissance celebrities that are household names! 1/?
(Countdown to Inventing the Renaissance)
Book cover of "Inventing the Renaissance." It's very orange, and has Cellini's very naked statue of Perseus holding the severed head of Medusa.

Our Murder of Crows playset comes in a matchbox-style box that opens to reveal the crows nestled in a straw nest.

A cardboard box labeled "Murder of Crows" contains four black crow figures nestled in a straw nest. They seem very happy, but it's hard to tell with crows.
