Pooch Portraiture

Many people have asked for portraits of their dogs. Here is a Cocker Spaniel. In the 1980's, the Dutch and Belgian champion Rottweiler sat for me, to have his portrait fashioned in gold with a diamond collar. His name was Ettore and he wanted to eat me. His owner, a successful breeder, held him at the end of a broad leather strap. He was rumored to have cost his owner 40k. I worked very quickly that day and lived to tell about it.
