I'm back.   worked on Fizz a while last night, and a bit today.  plan to have him finished tonight.  Its been raining a lot, so those are great days to spend at the easel!  

I have been informed by owner J. that Fizz is most certainly a He. not the she I referred to prior, sorry Fizz!    I thank you J for allowing use of your photo.   If anyone is wondering, you must ask, its wrong to just use a photo without the taker's permission.   thou shalt not steal and all that.

here's where Fizz is now.  I think I will leave the halter a bit less done, so the focus is on that gorgeous face!   I like leaving some of the sketchiness.
