Hunting Dog Portrait

My client sent me a photo of her husband's hunting dog sitting in their backyard with a fence behind him. I 'moved' the dog from that scene into a classic hunting scene at the client's request. The dog is her husband's hunting companion, and this outdoor scene suited him perfectly. The dog was drawn in graphite pencil, the background was done in pastel chalks, and the grasses were done in pastel chalks and Lyra colored pencils. My client was completely thrilled, which of course was my goal! It looks a bit dull in this photo, due to the photography of it.
