I love the blue reflections, sometimes I feel odd adding those colors I see that my brain says aren't what I should be seeing. I guess it's part of learning to paint what you see.
Lou, you're right. He didn't like being tied on his leash, but we were near a busy road and a lot of horses. Stephen, I probably pushed the blue color a little but I find that to get those color effects you sometimes have to exaggerate a bit.
