Sissy Day

Today is what I call "Sissy Day", the anniversary of the day Sissy the Boston Terrier came to live with me. 
 
 
It has been five years since the day my dad carried that frightened little dog through the front door. Who knew that one day Sissy would be one of the best, if not the best dog I’ve ever had?
 

Here are some illustrations of Sissy I've done over the years. Most of them are sketches.

Update on Whiskey painting

You might not notice much of a difference from the last photo, but during my last painting session I worked on Whiskey's blaze, his neck, and the metal pieces of his halter.

Slowly making progress

Here is the progress I've made so far on my painting of Whiskey. I worked on it for a while today, but I still have quite a bit more work to do.

Finally getting back to painting

Yesterday I started on a 16" X 20" painting of a Tennessee Walking horse named Whiskey. I am painting this for my neighbor who owns the horse.
