Thank you @hetty-rowan for this nice story of your year. Like you I really like the picture of the German Shepherd, he looks very cute and ready to play. Seeing that there are two more dogs I was impressed with you and your dedication. The dogs really might take the whole free time of you. But on other hand it is a lot of satisfaction too.
I am glad to know that you found another hobby in digital Art. Art is wonderful and you can develop the skills if regular practicing.
I am wishing you the best with dog school hopefully coming year and also with your digital Art :)
Merry Christmas!
Thank you @stef1 for your reply. Yes the dogs are a very big part of my life. They do take all the free time, and yes it's a lot of work, but also so much satisfaction when you see them happy and enjoying their lives.
Oh yes, digital art is a wonderful thing, and I wanted to do it for years and years now. But never found the time, nor the focus to develop the skills needed. For photography I used photoshop a lot, but never in the way that is used to create really digital art. What I wanted to do is start from zero, really draw everything myself, or paint from zero. Now with Krita I found the software that is perfect for me to use for this goal. And if I say so myself ... its not that bad ...
Merry Christmas to you too
That is absolutely amazing, such beautiful misty effect at bottom of mountains and the far away trees. Beautiful and fairy-tale like :)
