Comments please!

First view of a oil painting of Riley, very much work in progress.

Much still to be done on the dog, so not fair to comment yet I guess, but what about the background, does it work or could you suggest an alternative background?

Personally I think it needs a lighter background, that way the dog stands out more! But it is looking good!

I like the dark background, personally. It gives it a more dramatic effect and actually makes the dog stand out more.
