Bonnie

I've been given permission by Mel to post a photo of the portrait I created of Bonnie the labrador.
She's a surprise Xmas gift for Mel's parents.
Bonnie is 14 and arthritic and Mel was worried she wouldn't last much longer. She took a turn and collapsed the day before Mel received the portrait but has come good again.

 I've made her a bit younger in her portrait.

I asked Mel if she got her home without being discovered.

"My mum saw me carry it in but I kept it hidden under the blanket. Bonnie has picked up a bit again which is good .
I love it it looks great.I showed my neigbour and she nearly cried and said it looks so life like and that they should love it. I have even found a spot where I reckon they should hang it. I cant wait for Christmas to give it to them. I wanted to give it to them the other day"
