Old friend.

This beautiful old dog died this year and the owner asked me to paint it for a xmas present.  It was surprisingly difficult because of the black in the picture.  I used a picture as well as looking at my own dog to finish the picture.  It is a 16 by 20 watercolor pencil painting on canvas done in a hyperrealism genre.
