Circular dogs are much easier to draw than dog shaped dogs. This painting exists to prove that you don’t have to know how to draw in order to have fun with paint. #painting

This was a pleasant oops. I was making a curve of pursuit on the square and had it doing the pursuit on three of the edges rather than all four. A happy mistake!
