Pet Portrait: Bailey the Irish Setter

For those paying close attention to my posting habits, then you may have noticed that the title was a little bit different this time around, marking history being made.  That's right, history!  Surprisingly, for the first time since I first starting doing pet portraits I finally have my first repeated dog name.  I've always loved the name Bailey for dogs ever since I met a great little guy going by that name when I was younger, so it's only fitting that this is the one to break the streak of "original" (for lack of a better word) names.
