Sammie2 Pastel Portrait

Meet Sammie2 - such a cute pup! She's a little tyke, probably older than her face that you see, and I have yet to meet her in person, but from what I can tell, she definitely has character...and charisma too!

She's Sammie2, because a few years back, I did a portrait of another Sammie, who, alas is no longer with us.

Anyway, here is Sammie2's portrait after a few hours of work... Next posting you'll see how she looks after several more hours on the job.

Stay tuned~!

Chewbacca aka Chewy

Here's my latest pet portrait project (still waiting for new photos from the owner that show his eyes better though) -- Chewbacca aka Chewy, who is an Alaskan Husky I believe. I like the how he is back lit while standing on the beach and smiling at the camera. Just wish his grey-blue eyes showed up more...

Watch for future posts!

Plus, coming up, I'll be doing a pet portrait for last year's 4H winning cat owner in the upcoming weeks - he's a very pretty kitty named Luka! Congratulations to the winner and her pet.
