Real, or Fake?

Real, or Fake? Acrylic. 16'' x 20''. The answer is, the dog on the left is fake, it is a statue in front of a dog care center I passed by. This was a question even the lab who saw it couldn't answer right away. I watched as this lab actually had to approach the statue and take a sniff to make sure, and as a result, inspired me to reproduce this special moment. Turns out that painting the statue proved to be just as difficult as the dog trying to distinguish it; however, after many hours of refining, I finally convinced myself that the statue looked more or less like a statue. The statue is so finely crafted that I bet attracts many friendly visitors each day.
