Here’s yet another project I finished as a Christmas commission:

Cali Details

Cali Almost Finished

“Cali” (Acrylic)

Cali is the sweet pup of some dear friends from church. They actually allowed me to stay in their home for a few months leading up to my wedding over 5 years ago, so it was really fun to work on a pup I knew semi-well. I was a little worried about this one at first as she has a beautiful buttercream coat which doesn’t initially provide much definition or contrast in a photo. But I did what I could and this has actually become one of my favorite portraits I’ve ever done. I loved working on her sweet eyes. They are so kind and loving. So dog-like. 🙂

I’ve also been working on a personal just-for-fun project that I’ll post about soon. Stay tuned!

Enjoying life,
