Dalmation Commission

A friend commissioned a "dog portrait" from me in 2011, during a time when we were struggling to keep our heads above water in the new digs in Kansas. Both of her beloved dalmatians had long since passed away, and were sorely missed. I was sent a bunch of snapshots of them walking on a leash on a sidewalk somewhere. I thought to myself, "oh, no, this will never do." SO, this is what happened.
