Pet Portrait: Rascal the Lab / Shepherd Mix

With a proud pose like this, I don't know if I can accept that Rascal has been appropriately named.  Who knows, he could be a mischievous little bugger when the camera is put away.  Must be the black lab side of the Labrador/German Shepherd mix (if this is, in fact, what he is. It's up for debate).

Up Next: This coming summer the Dog Museum has decided to showcase the art of local artists, and I was lucky enough to snag a weekend before they were all taken.  Which means I have some portfolio filling to work on in between commissioned pieces. I will also be contributing a piece to this years Urban Wanderers art exhibit for Stray Rescue.  Now just to decide where to start...

Until next time! Lauren H. Follow @BewareOfTrees
