Chocolate Cocker Spaniel and Lime DumDum

It would appear I've already failed at my attempts to paint every day. However, I did paint each day since my first post, just not the small paintings like I hoped. I had a commission to finish and was then called to do a mural. I can see this will be harder than I thought. Today, even though short on time I made myself paint a very small 3"x4" canvas. The subject was a lime DumDum which I thought would be very fun. I've learned that I don't like the stretched canvas for these small paintings because the texture, to me, is distracting. I plan to use masonite board in the future. Also, Here is the commissioned painting I finished of a chocolate cocker spaniel.
