Digging For Gold

Where has she been?  I've been traveling teaching in California's original gold rush country in Sutter Creek , Ca.  What a great 2 days of classes on Pet Portraits.  Thank much to Analie Belden who organized this event.    Photos here are from student Robin Cohen  who  breeds/sells  dogs.. This is a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy she particularly liked. .. and why not.., he's adorable.   Day One includes work showing reference photo and Robin's inked piece...

Day Two.. I can almost feel his rippled skin.  Background is all thats left.   KUDOs to Robin. Great work.

I'll post more once I've unpacked!!!!
