Patty goes to the dogs

[Patricia Joyce]

Admittedly drawing dogs is not my favorite thing, however I can say that this was fun to do. It is large 20 x 30 (the image is more cropped than drawing) and will be hanging ten feet off the ground so I felt I had no choice but to work in charcoal rather than graphite for a richer appearance. I think doing a portrait in charcoal is very difficult but it sure made the dog easier. Now I am beginningthe companion piece another drawing of the two of then, laying in the grass...

Thanks for looking
