Pet Portrait: Willow the Airedale Terrier

Willow the Airedale Terrier

This past weekend was the 3rd Annual Airedale Carnival, an event put on to help support the organization Airedale Terrier Rescue and Adoption (ATRA). I've never seen an Airedale in person before, but now I can definitely vouch for their energy levels.  Get a bunch in one place and they sure have a lot to say to each other and a lot of excitement to share, that's for sure!

This portrait is of Willow, belonging to the founder of ATRA. In my mind she's best friends with two dogs named Buffy and Xander and they run around fighting the paranormal when no one is watching them. I refuse to stop believing this.

Paper Used: Strathmore Premium Recycled Drawing Paper (400 Series) cut to 8×10″.
