Blueberry Season (Progress to completion)

For Jenny


I started work on my friend Jenny's darling boy, Blueberry, a sweet Pit Bull who passed away earlier this month (February 14th). Blueberry was a wonderful big brother to Franklin, (the Boston Terrier), and Bessie (Boston/Shih Tzu).

He was a beautiful dove-gray colour, and the graphite pencil is a beautiful way of rendering the soft textures and colours of his coat.

Thanks, Jenny, for letting me draw him for you. I know it's a hard thing to lose a beloved pet, and reminders can be painful, but I hope this will eventually serve as a reminder of the joy he brought you.





This was the original photo, for those who are wondering about what kind of photo source is acceptable.  I also used a couple of other photos of Jenny's that she had lying around on Facebook.
