Thank you both for the kind comments!
Taron, your positivity to everyone here is so refreshing compared to a lot of other corners of the internet nowadays! It's great how you pick up on those subtle details too, I can tell you really examine everything everyone posts here and gives them thoughtful consideration. I love when I stumble on places like these where the innate goodness of people abounds!
Hey zeropainter--thanks! If your dog was at all like this one I'm sure it was a tremendous companion with a huge heart. Dogs are so unique in their unconditional affection and loyalty toward people--sometimes I wonder if we deserve them.
Are you the same zeropainter that posts on the artrage forums? I used to lurk there a lot and have done a lot of customizing ArtRage to try to get the functionality that Verve already has. ArtRage is a cool program for sure and they've done great things with it, but I think once you learn Verve, ArtRage falls short with the oil painting... my opinion anyway

Kudos again to Taron for such an amazing painting app! 
...he really feels incredibly alive with the clever sense of motion blur on his snout, that's brilliant! Love the fur, too! 
reminds me a bit of my last dog - labrador (1995-2005)
