Toby: Good Therapy

Right before Christmas a good friend asked if I would do a portrait of their therapy
dog, Toby, part Lab/part shih tsu. I didn't know if I could pull it off on time. I usually
like to spend a lot of time thinking about a painting and getting a critique and advice
from artist friends who do a lot of this kind of thing. It is done from a photo, but I also
know Toby, so that helps. So, since it too was a present, I couldn't post it until now.
