My next portrait is Maggie the German shepherd. Maggie was adopted in March 2011 (there were 30 people on the wait list to adopt her!). She passed away suddenly this past April of hemangiosarcoma. She was quite a handful at first but turned into “one of the best behaved, loving and happy dogs around.” She had a wonderful life on a Vermont farm and is missed dearly every day. Below is her photo and the start to my sketch. See more updates on my Facebook page. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested in a custom pet portrait of your own!
