Jazzy (alternate version)

In the winter of 2008 I donated my portrait services to Labrador Life Line's "Heart Dog Auction". The resulting portrait was this painting of Jazzy. There were a couple of poses to choose from and Cecilie (the dog's owner) thought the profile version the best. The painting turned out to be one of my best, but I thought I'd do an alternate version based on the other proposed pose. What you see above is the photo reference and the drawing I did for it. I am currently working on a full color painting of this pose. Check back in a few to see how it's progressing.
