Great painting! Did you pick this up at an Illuxcon? Also love the additional photo of the painting with your dog! Reminds me of a miniature schnauzer we once owned. Great dog! Smartest dog we've ever owned. Congrats on a great piece and great pup! :)

Alex, I commissioned this one - in fact, all of my paintings from Raoul are commissioned. His Smaug painting was my first piece of Tolkien related art. He often takes his commissions to Illuxcon to display them even though they are NFS. I wouldn't mind having a schnauzer buddy someday!
