Staff Meeting

My husband loves the title of this painting. He seems to spend a majority of his day in meetings, it is a wonder he gets anything done. When I was painting this, I thought to myself, I wonder if he is talking with his dog about the day's work ahead of them. This is a picture of Jake and his dog, Mulie. I have never seen such devotion in a dog than I did in this one. His eyes never left Jake's face and he was ready for any command that he might call out.
The photo of the painting is one I took on the easel. I can not seem to get a good picture of my work, regardless of really good lights and a great camera...if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
