I've gotten to know Diesel through a friend whose nephew owns him. From what I know he is a true nanny dog; watches over the young people in the house just as his kind was bred to do so many years ago. I love the way his portrait turned out, the reference photo was bland, but the joy of being an artist is bringing a scene back to life and to keep it that way as long as the painting can be viewed. I hope my friend's nephew likes this portrait of his best friend and I hope in years to come it brings him fond memories of his once in a lifetime dog. Till then, carry on, Diesel.
