I am still catching up on pet portraits, what a joy!  This one was done in oil from a small snapshot on a 9" by 12" wood block as a gift for someone who lost this little guy.  His name is "Earl", a white albino chihuahua with plenty of challenges including the KY wildcats shirt.  I was tempted to add some red in the background, but blue was the color.  Follow along, some new pastel sketches are next (and yes they are dogs).
