Lady Patches Grimes is a miniature Schnauzer living her best life in Jacksonville, FL. It took her mom, Patti, many months trying to get her still enough to capture a photo to send me as a good reference. I think there must have been a tasty treat in front of the camera evidenced by her […]

Lily Pet Portrait, four-legged baby, Leo Art Creations

I gave Lucy lots of contrasting colors and texture in […]
