Bert finished

Here is the finished version of Bert waiting for approval. The original is a bit lighter and brighter but with the weather conditions as they are (typical wet summer!) I haven't yet been able to go outside to take a photo of this painting. I normally don't use reference photos that need things, such as the head collar, taking off but I luckily had some other great reference photos of Bert to compare with and it didn't prove too tricky.
