Lucy the dog

A little bit ago I got an email from a lovely lady.  She had a portrait request for her pup Lucy.  I had to put her on hold for a bit to wrap up some other pieces, but then was thrilled to let her know, it was Lucy's time for the spotlight.  

She sent me over a few pictures of her and wrote a description of Lucy's personality.  I think the pictures speak for themselves.  

I just love her expressions. 

Hello!

I LOVE that shot.  It immediately reminded me of this video.  In my mind, this is Lucy's personality even though I've not had the opportunity to meet her in person.  Even if she is the exact opposite, I want to believe this is how Lucy would act because it cracks me up! 

Anyway, after spending a little time staring at her, this is what I came up with. 

What can I say...it is unmistakably Lucy.  

I know I've done well, when my email of the proof gets this response...

Oh my gosh - you nailed it.  I like it even better than the photo I sent you.  My husband is going to love it.  I love the way you tilted her head and you captured her personality perfectly..I can't stop emailing it to friends and family - I just love it. 

Happy Customers make me a happy girl!
