I met Bailey and her friend, Bruce, at the second anniversary of the Barkley Pet Hotel, in 2011.
I took photos that day and made mental pictures of the color of her fur and eyes.
One would think that painting a dog who looks like she is mostly hair would be easy. Not so!
As we dog lovers know, there is much more inside - not only bones and muscles but Bailey's exuberant personality and spirit as well.

 Bruce looked at several sketches. This was his choice. Sketches give a preliminary glimpse of how the canvas will be filled. |  At this point, the painting is about half-way complete. Bailey liked the red background. It compliments her coloring and personality. |
