Surprise gift

 Now that I have given it away, I can share this portrait of my cousin Heidi's beloved dog, Louie, who is sadly no longer with us. I hesitated to paint his portrait—you never know how people are grieving—until she said to me one day that she'd love it if I did one, so that was her main Christmas gift today. Here's Louie, with his cheerful expression and ever-present tongue.


Pencil, watercolor, and Daler Rowney inks on 140-lb. Fluid watercolor paper, about 8x8?
