A Beautiful Saturday Morning & Afternoon

 Had a early busy morning and finally had a chance to set up a little after 11am. It was slightly overcast most of the time only with moments of sun coming through and when it did it was just to the left of me and not too intrusive. I did grab what shadows I could during those moments and finally laid my brushes down around 1pm. There are a few spots I will probably touch up if they bother me enough. I am also playing with the idea of placing my neighbors white dog in it but then I feel I lose an honesty about it.
