A4 oil painted dog on canvas board. 
I love dogs and have 2 naughty cocker spaniels currently , but grew up with Staffies and daschunds. This is a summer project and started as practice, I tell my students that practice makes perfect and I am taking my own lessons currently. It's all in the eyes I have learnt!  I am sticking to a formula, A4 or A3 canvas board, neutral background head and shoulder close up. 
This Great Dane is for sale , he will need framing and is A4 in size. 
Do get in touch if you would like your own dog painting , it would make a gorgeous present for someone or for yourself ! All I need is several good quality photos of head and shoulder, thats not as easy as it sounds , I know !
