    Default Buster the Boxer

    This was a hard one to do. The dog was quite old and it wasn't easy to come up with the part that shows his gray. He also had cataracts I think so I made him able to see again. I haven't heard from the customer so don't know if she liked it or not. This is my last commissioned piece as I worry so much about them liking it or not that it takes all of the pleasure away. I have also included the picture that I went by. I did change the front a little and had to guess about the right front where the pillow was.

    I can't imagine the customer not being happy with that! I think you did a fantastic job.
