It was fun to work on this commissioned painting. Mya is not only a very pretty dog, but she has an interesting back story. She was discovered in Mexico where she was living on the streets and “counting down her last days,” barely able to lift her head up. She won the doggie lottery that day, finding a loving family and permanent home in Colorado! Since then she has become quite the adventure dog, going just about everywhere her owners travel.
The reference photos for her custom portrait were great. Mya’s age varied in the shots, but she always looked completely in her element while hiking around the Rockies and other locales.
I love her brindled coat and awesome half-folded-over ears. She has some serious personality!
