Poor little Laika. This is such a beautiful painting. How she sits, her face, her paws. It all has a sad air around it. I love the light in the corner though, with al those dots, they look a bit like fireflies. It's a bit soothing to the whole picture. I like it.
i'm very grateful for your words, as this is one of my favs. and laika is such a melancholic character with her somehow forced acceptance to all decision of those who are mightier than her.
