It has been so long since I have had the pleasure of drawing, but at the end of 2021, a person that I respect and admire suffered the loss of a beloved pet....and I was thrilled that they reached out for a portrait.  Sassi is a gorgeous, spirited and loved dog.   She was a joy to draw....I spent most of the time thanking Sassi for letting me explore her beautiful features and soul.  She was strong and just needed to be free......and free she is.......meet Sassi.......and to the family, my deepest condolences......
