Black Lab

My latest commission, a one year old black labrador. This is going to be a Christmas prezzy for a lady from her husband. They already have had four of their dogs portrayed by me, but everytime they get a new pooch they show up on my doorstep with an armful of photos. It's a great compliment when people come back for more. Drawn with caran d'ache watercolour pencils on heavy acid-free paper, 12"x16".
