You have a real talent, Diamond_Dog. I like this drawing a lot. You really captured the love and joy between a boy and his puppy.

Good job!

only to discover that the animal came along at just the right time - and saved them. From self harm. Or from overwhelming grief. or all kinds of conditions. These really are symmetric relationships, and often you gotta suspect the animal knows it.

I try to create uplifting images to counteract all the ugliness in the world right now.

One thing I just noticed, and I'm going to have to pay attention to this going forward, is that I'm viewing this on my laptop, which is actually on my lap. As I was about to get up I noticed a noticable change in the coloration of your work, having to do with the change in my viewing angle. This REALLY made a HUGE difference, and for your piece it was for the better.

Just wanted to pass this on, as I end up looking at a lot of 'pictures' online, and I bet I've missed out on seeing the best of many of them.

I’m wondering what caused the change in color? Like when you view a TV from the side as opposed to front and center?

when changing the viewing angle. So it must be something to do with my laptop, which is a 15" HP. It doesn't change the color so much as making everything lighter, faded if you will.
