STATUS: Sold as a commission

"When a good friend showed me a snapshot of her husband and his dog and asked if I could make it into a painting, I had some hesitation. I shy away from doing people, since portraits are a big challenge to me. But I love painting dog portraits, and figured I needed to challenge myself, so I agreed. It was to be a surprise Christmas present. I proceeded cautiously, painting Greg's face before the dog... I didn't want to do a great job on Riley's face and then ruin the rest of the painting! My fears seem to have been uncalled for, since the whole family loved the final result."
