Christmas is done, and WOW... was I busy!

I've already posted the finished drawings on my Facebook Page and my Website, but I thought I'd post a few of my progress pictures for anybody who's interested in seeing how things progressed.

This is Sophie

Sophie is a West Highland White Terrier. A Westie.

She's wearing a spiffy Christmas ribbon in front of a Christmas tree filled with twinkling lights,  Christmas balls, and a garland of netting.

Here's another piece.

Pugsley

He's a beautiful caramel-coloured Shih-Tzu

I think he's gorgeous!

Here's another piece:

Taz

He passed away a few years ago
And here's his good buddy,  Buster:



They're a beautiful pair

And one last piece I'm going to show you:

This is Cohen, out in Trinity

Cohen is a Portuguese Water Dog. :D (Yes, like the one that the Obama family owns)


Here's a close-up of his collar

I had fun working out his eye in all that gorgeous shaggy fur. 

Isn't he gorgeous?!

This is is the original photograph that I worked from. The person who commissioned the portrait provided a few photographs for me to work from. I took a couple of extras of Cohen so that I could get the details just right. 

Well, that's it for now. I refuse to post anymore when supper is waiting for me. (somebody else is cooking!) 

I hope you enjoy taking a quick peek at what I've been doing, and thank you for following along. I hope that this brand new year brings me many more meetings with many more people. 

Happy 2012!!!
