Artist's Comments

Since four weeks I've been doing volunteer work at the local animal shelter, Sunday morning every week.
The very first time, the very first task was to clean out the puppy kennel. When we arrived there, I found a scene very much as pictured here.
There were two mothers with their own batch of puppies. The one directly opposite the door was a golden retriever with black puppies with white chests & paws, like this (the puppies' father is a big, bad, black dog of an uncertian breed). Her name's Boomer, I saw her first & walked her the most, that's why she's here.
I don't think the puppies were as active as this that week, but the next week they were. I just distinctly recall the one sitting aside, looking with its bit puppydog-eyes straight at me.
It was very touching to see, so I tried drawing it... fourth week I finally managed to get it right. I hope you in dA-land will enjoy seeing this as much as I did drawing it.
(yeah I know the scan's crap... >_<*)

-sighs- There's a good probability neither of them will be still there when I get there tomorrow... the puppies should have new homes, the mothers back to their owners T__T but hopefully they'll spend the rest of their lives happy ^_^

Dat is zo leuk, kunt u het pleiten in haar ogen zien. Goed-gedaan, bent u zeer begaafd. (Droevig over mijn Nederlands, heb ik niet voor zeer lang geleerd). =)
:iconnikumaru:
I'll reply in English, then, shall I?
(Your Dutch is really not that bad, though, considering how different it is from English :D Very sweet of you to give it a try, here :hug:)
Thank you for your kind comment :hug: The look in her eyes was indeed what struck me first, when I got in that first Sunday morning... ^^;
And... :blushes: I'm not thát talented, really. You may see in my gallery, that I am still developing my drawing style ^^;
You're very good at drawing, too! Your horses are marvellous! I should've seen them as an example before I tried my hand on drawing them, myself ;p

You're very kind, your English is excellent, do you learn it in school? Thanks for saying that my drawings are marvellous, I really appreciate it.
:iconnikumaru:
I'm not as kind as you are to me, though :D
Thank you for the kind words on even my English :blushes: We do learn it in school, here. But my favourite series were on the British Broadcasting Channel, so I learned a lot from television, too ^^; ...is there anything it cannot do?
As for your marvellous drawings & what I said on them... my pleasure, I really mean it. You seem to know horses well... Do you work with them?

No, I don't work with horses, I am actualy a little bit scared of them. But I am interested in drawing them, they fascinate me.
:iconnikumaru:
:giggle: Yeah, they are quite big & can be intimidating, if they're not just standing around :D But you draw them very well :clap: I can see you're interested in drawing them, you must've had quite some practice ...and why it may fascinate you to draw them... they have some beautiful lines ^^;
