Sleeping Dog

I'm glad I'm not the only old dog with floppy jowls.  What is it called, the sleep of the innocent or maybe that's the only time they're innocent ;-).  As always, superbly presented in b/w... Mike

I like how this straddles the world/viewing_ experience (?) between real (identities we identify with = dog), and abstract (shapes and tones). mostly. except for the last light bar on RHS. Would like to read others' comments on this.

David; Please take my comment in the sense/perspective that I sometimes comment for the purpose of clarifying my thoughts/perceptions as a learning exercise. I do not pretend to be expertly perceptive.

Hi Mike - Ya, the jowls are the first to go, (or is it the legs?).

Thanks Wayne -  

Appreciate your thoughts very much.  I wanted the main subject off-center,  but felt the one visible paw and the fold of cloth were important to anchor the right side, and contain the composition.  You're right this is a study of light and dark, shape and shadow - as much as it is an image of a sleeping dog.

Best, David
