Dahlia's Favorite Flavor

My housemate asked me to paint her parents sweet rottweiler that they just had to say goodbye to, as a Christmas present for them. I love this breed so much and know from first hand experience how hard it is to say goodbye to them. Their years just don't add up like most dogs and they rarely make it into their teens.  I was told Dahlia was very loved and also quite spoiled as a good rottie should be. Her human mom would walk her to their local ice cream parlor for a scoop of her favorite treat and Dahlia relished it. I really enjoyed creating this painting and hope her portrait will bring just a little bit of comfort and joy.
