Bark worse than Bite?

How's this for a change of pace?  Meet Bandit.  He's my sister's dog. He's still in progress. At this point, I'm working from the top down.  He should be ready in a few more sessions.  I have a few more commission-type paintings to complete in the near future, then I'll get back to my usual routine.  Bandit is 12x12" and I think the square worked out well for this composition.

I went Thursday night to the Rockport Reception to start this new season, and it was wonderful to see their collection of paintings by some of their famous painters from years gone by.  Tonight I'm going to a demo and critique at Newburyport Art Association by nationally well-known artist Donald Jurney.  I'm wondering what to bring to have critiqued.  I'm thinking of bringing a large landscape of the Great Marsh in Spring (last year, shown below) which needs some help with the color of the marsh.  I'll let you know what he says.
For those of you who are painting for the A Painting A Month Club Challenge, there's about 10 days left!  See information about joining or to see this month's photo!

Thank you for viewing my work and let me know your comments.
