What an honor it was to paint Charley for Ruta. I studied several photos (when Charley was younger and when she was older)...used one for the position of her head for the portrait and other photos for shading, highlights, fur colors and variations. This afternoon the real transformation took place after the layers of her fur color and all of the other details were finished. I think she turned out really pretty and I hope that the portrait will give Ruta some peace and comfort. Rest in peace, sweet Charley, and wait for Ruta over Rainbow Bridge.
