Until Proven Guilty

This is our wonderful spirited pup, Rocksie. I thought she was a chocolate lab...until I painted her. She's not. She's tutti fruiti. I smiled the entire time I painted this. Is that a face a mother could love? My husband thinks I should call this one Devil Dog. Though that's fairly accurate, it isn't very nice. So I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks very much for ALL the wonderfully positive comments...Rocksie will be so proud!
Kristen, the under painting is cad red medium with some rosier bits of alizarin crimson added in places.
