A little dog named Rufus

A local artist who I follow posted for a small New Year’s Creative swap. I jumped in as I’ve never participated in a swap that wasn’t affiliated with this lovely group before. She messaged me another’s name and mailing address and… that was it. :laughing: I wrote back for some bread crumbs of information and was, fortunately, directed to her Instagram where I quickly got my idea. This little dog was all over her page as well as were images of her garden so I mashed the two together. I love how this turned out. I will be mailing it off to the recipient tomorrow and I can’t wait to hear about her reaction.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I really love creating pet portraits, whether I paint them or sculpt them, there is something really special about immortalizing a fur baby with art.
