Jake

Pastel, 12x12 on UArt


 Pet portrait of Jake, my brother Todd's Sheltie.  I took several photos and did preliminary drawings before I finalized the image in pastel.  My goal was to capture Jake's personality.  He is always watching, always alert, and ready for everything.

 This painting is not for sale, but I would be delighted to talk to you about doing a similar portrait of your pet.  Please contact me for details.
