This pastel piece was commissioned to me to be done for Mother’s day. 5 year old Gracie lives with her owner in Shreveport, Louisiana. She is a much loved dog and has a special place in her owner’s heart. The reference photo I was working from had two things that stuck out to me. The first was the very tender, sweet look on Gracie’s face. I knew I had to accurately portray this in my rendition. The second thing was Gracie sitting on floral throw rugs. I liked the pattern on the rugs so much that I decided to do an entire background with the floral pattern. This piece measures 12″x 9″.
