Otis – Border Collie Mix in Color Pencil

Just  from the full photo album of pictures from the past I can tell that Otis was not only a great dog, but he was very loved.    Originally found crying in the the trunk of a car his rescuers (Kim and Clay) took him in as a little butterball of a puppy years ago.   Otis is no longer with his owners, but the memories live on.    His owners have had a total of five pieces done by yours truly including Mr. Otis.   Even with many photos to choose from, I just needed one that had the expression that his owner Kim felt really showed his personality.    The photo she choose was lovely, but just a tad dark on one side of the face and that made it challenging to be able to see all the detail.  I believe I was able to capture what we were looking for in his expression.
