Last month I received a call from a woman who found my Pups in Pastel site and wanted to know if I could do a portrait of her little dog Millie who had passed away a few weeks earlier.

Of course, I said yes.

I finished the painting on Tuesday afternoon and dropped it off on Wednesday morning. It was pretty emotional but she absolutely loved it and mentioned that she had a few friends that will be contacting me for dog portraits. I really enjoyed working on this pastel painting and I’m glad I was able to give her a beautiful memento of her dog.
