Lab of Love

I was asked to create a portrait of a handsome black lab named Huck as a wedding gift. When clients contact me–I always ask for several photos because you never know just which picture will make a good painting. Usually I do 2-3 different sketches for a typical portrait–but with Huck, it took a bit more.

I thought you might find it interesting to see all the different approaches. Guess which one was the winner?
