Dog Portraits
Dogs were a part of my daily life when I was growing up as they were always present in my home. My parents bred them as a hobby. We began with Scotch Collies, then Boxers, German Shepherds and ended with Westhighland terriers. I love them and try to portray not only their characteristics, but their expresiveness, their intelligence, and hopefully, their feelings.
