Zen Doggie

A bit of a different look.

Just as each animal is unique so is each pet portrait.

Earlier this summer my housemate & I went to the Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur. It was a very fun day and our favorite booth was that of Colorado Greyhound Adoption. The volunteers working the booth were all friendly and very knowledgeable about the dogs-- and of course the dogs were great.

I have an extra soft spot in my heart for this particular breed as my Foxee was part greyhound.

This is the original picture I took of Legs:

Here are my three favorites after manipulating it in the graphics program: (My printer and program are still having an argument over color management. In the thumbnails I printed what shows as lime here was a very pretty light turquoise and the yellow here printed as lime -- I liked that color combination even better so stuck with it. I left the files of the proofs alone color-wise to show the importance of choosing your pet's portrait from the printed proofs rather than from an emailed jpg file).

Here is the final piece of art:
