Description

This is for :iconlarissa-bright: at :iconatc-exchange:. She liked to have a greyhound for her as greyhounds are her favourite animals - and so I did. The theme of this month (hopefully apparently) was Art Nouveau. (I hope I managed to do the brindle parts right. I had not even heard about such a thing before. : )

The title comes from my speculations on how do the greyhounds feel when they are running free and as fast as ever they like. Do they get such a sensation as Csíkszentmihályi defines to take place when one is fully immersed in what s/he's doing? That time just flows by and the individual is completely enjoying her/his making?
[Wikipedia: [link](psychology) -> Other uses in science and technology -> Flow (psychology)]

By the way, according to the same source as above, greyhound can "reach average race speeds of in excess of 18 metres per second (59 feet per second) or 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph)".

What comes to my submission time, I don't know if I'm late or in time. In any case I haven't been on dA these days and so ended up remembering the deadline incorrectly. According to my poor memory there was still one day to go and so I calculated I could have scanned this picture today... (I don't like the scanning part. I always notice a thing I would want to add just after spending half an hour trying to get the colours somewhat right. ": \ ) Nevertheless, I'm sorry if I was late! I owe you my sincerest apologies if I did. D : I don't like to be late, either.

Lovely! I like how the greyhound is smiling so happily as it runs!
I have no idea what constitutes art nouveau either but whatever you've drawn, it looks amazing!
