Did I Tell You That I Love Dogs?

<h1>Photography</h1> Dog Love-Dog Joy shows up in my photography. That’s Scampi pictured above. She was my rescue Jack Russell Terrier. The timing was perfect for me to capture this. Silly girl with that trickster grin. Jacks are like that. Intelligent, funny, intense, loyal. She was short, but no shrimp. Pun intended. I think that Scampi got tired of hearing that. Over time, her hearing became selective. She didn’t lose her hearing. She didn’t listen. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*42HtUEJFUhtqZwoqPqwK2w.jpeg" style="height:980px; width:700px" /> Artwork and Photo copyright Author <h1>Artwork by way of custom portraiture in graphite</h1> Dog Love-Dog Joy shows up in my artwork. This is Annie — a friend’s dog. Annie got lucky. She is an adopted rescue from a Texas shelter where not just that one but many other Texas shelters are currently busting at the seams, overcrowded with strays and surrenders. My friend’s daughter was happy and excited about her dog’s portrait. I think it was the wispy top knot that I managed to get right from the photo her mother provided to me. Details are so important to get right. They are essential to capturing a dog’s personality in artwork. <a href="https://medium.com/@karenjwettstein/did-i-tell-you-that-i-love-dogs-fc914ff39878">Visit Now</a>
