This is a project that I have had mulling around in my head for a long time.  I have a Pinterest board dedicated to this concept Pinterest Board.  I especially wanted a “girl with dog” portrait.    My model got strep throat this weekend so I used my “backup” model!  The dog concept was NOT working….

So we had to bribe him with squeaky toys (his favorite), and the best we could get was this…

I don’t know; all I can see is “long nose” and he looks so sad.  This was not what I envisioned to start with at all!  I decided to settle with an image “without dog.”

I’ll retry “girl with dog” next week when I get some better dog bribes!   I have so much appreciation for pet photographers-whew!

This is the starting point.  My next step is to try my hand at some “digital painting.”  I have taken classes in this medium, and I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Next week…an update on my vision!
