This is another gorgeous whippet from my friends at Shannon Down Whippets in S.C. Her name is Cecilia (Shannon Down Atonement). She's a real beauty! I tried something I've never done before with her - I attempted to do a portrait as an age progression. That is to say, to make her look as she would as an adult and not as the puppy I knew. I'm not sure I did a really great job, but it was an interesting process! I'm going to try to be brave enough to get a photo of her as she ages and see how close I came to the "real thing"!

Indie, as I call him - is now done. He was a lot of fun while still providing that creative angst I seem to have with all my work. I wish I had a better photo because in the photo he appears a bit lighter than he really is, but the background, while pale - is much more pronounced than it appears in the photo. So, when he is scanned I think he will look a bit more like "himself"! Nevertheless, he is now going to spend some time drying and being sealed and then he'll be ready for a new home!

Today I got the background started on this little blue boy. I just wish I could get a better photo of it. It's kind of frustrating to see how washed out it is in my photos, but I guess you can get an idea of what it's like. I'm afraid that until it's scanned it will just have that "not quite there" look about it. I do want it to be pale because he is standing in extremely bright sunlight, but in the photo you really can't see much. Sorry! I wish it was a better photo.

Thought I'd just put up a new photo of the friesian work. He's coming along but still plenty to do.
