I posted this same link/pic. in the welcome wagon. Its my most recent. Finished on 12/20/07. The owner will send me a pic of it complete w/ mat and frame. 

This is the origional. The one I sent the owners is my first one to have scanned & copied. Was some-what costly & don't really know if I was all that impressed w/ the copied version. We'll discuss that when I can post both (1/15/08)and compare.

This was a gift for someone that fostered this dog and ended up adopting her. The dogs name is Faith, a senior english mastiff left abandoned and starving. This girl has a heart of gold. The owner has other mastiffs (& one basset hound) all therapy dogs for dementia patients and juvenile inmates. 

The first time I saw her picture I knew I was going to draw her. Some months later the owner emailed me begging me to do a drawing. I had a feeling I knew exactly which pic. it would be.

Hope you enjoy her too:
