Nahanni, meet Nahanni

Nahanni, meet Nahanni

In November I made a portrait of a curly-haired poodle named Nahanni. She’s a lovely dog with a beautiful calm temperament which made her fairly easy to photograph. Her eyes are two big pools of love that I managed to capture in the picture and the portrait. Today I had the pleasure of taking that portrait to Nahanni’s owners, as they fell in love with it and wanted to purchase it.

Nahanni seemed to understand the whole transaction as she stood in front of me and lifted her paw to shake hands. Well, maybe that’s stretching things a bit, but she did shake my hand a number of times…most likely wanting a cookie. Many thanks to Dave and Susan for being the first to buy one of my pet portraits.

Today I finished the poodle portrait and here she is! There were plenty of challenges in creating this fluffy black poodle, but it didn’t end there. When it came to making the internal border, I had to match up 4 different pieces of the checkered fabric and keep those tiny brown checkers all aligned. With a little perseverence  (ok…quite a bit of perseverence) it all worked out. Nahanni’s portrait is 18″ x 20″.
