My youngest daughter and her husband lost their happy, active -- and only 2 years old! -- springer spaniel, Molly, this past August to leukemia. (I don't know a lot about things like that, but they tell me this is very rare in such a young dog.) Knowing that I used to do portraits (though primarily human) for a living, my daughter asked if I might be able to create a composition they could hang to remember Molly by. It's approximately 12" x 16", done on dark gray Pastelmat in colored pencil. I was glad to be able to make something specifically for them, and presented it to them this past weekend when they were up to visit for the Easter holiday.

It's wonderful, Amy. They must have absolutely adored this gift. Perfect combination and beautiful work.
A very nice sentiment that will be treasured, I'm sure.
I can see the love that you put into this portrait for your daughter, her husband, and Molly--a very special gift and beautifully done.
Such a wonderful tribute. I know they had to have fallen love with this piece. It is beautiful!
Molly is beautiful and Springers are a joy!
