This piece was a special surprise gift for a birthday. The young lady planning this surprise was arranging this for her boyfriend, who owns Roxy. There were several options of types of medium to use. Pastel was another of her choices. She settled on the classic graphite. Once this piece is matted and framed it will look all the more handsome. She and I both loved the expression on Roxy’s face. She is actually a very powerful looking female dog when you see her whole body. This expression shows the sweet, relaxed side of her personality.
