Midnight Dreamer Studio This is my Mom's dog Echo, she got her as a puppy when I was twelve, I am now almost twenty-five :) I did this from a picture of her when she was still a young dog of 3 years, now she is almost def and also slowly going blind....I know she doesnt have many more years and since tomorrow is my Mother's Birthday I wanted to give her this....I just hope she actually frames it and puts it up, I gave her the clydsedale horse named Spirit that I have posted in the Animals Folder....I framed that one for her and she has had it for over a year and it still sits in a drawer so, I am really crossing my fingers that she will Hang this up, I would be so happy :) While I was drawing this I spooked myself a bit because as I drew I saw Echo looking at me and just appeared on the paper...I got so lost in this piece that I havent eaten all day lol :) Please let me know what you think :) She is half husky and supposedly golden retriever but she is a small size dog :)
