A commission of an old Lab going grey around the muzzle but still with an amazingly shiney coat. Drawn using my trusty old caran d'ache pencils on grey card. 16" x 12"
very nice work Ruth you captured the eyes perfectly
Artist Reply: Thank you Corry, he had that wise and gentle look about his eyes that old pooches seem to get, so that is where I started the portrait and then worked out.
Excellent job. Reminds me of my buddy now in my animal cemetary.
Artist Reply: I'm so glad it reminds you of an old friend, it's lovely to think back to the time spent together even if it is tinged with sadness that he's no longer around.
