”Maizy and Boomer”

Painting/ 24”X30” Pastel and acrylic on a sanded support

This beautiful yellow Lab and Shepherd mix are shown in the client’s back yard in early spring.
Photo day is always a lot of fun for me because I get to fool around with dogs. I generally prepare my clients to be ready to just go for a walk.
I prefer to photograph dogs being themselves when ever possible and there is nothing that a dog loves more than to go for a walk. It generally relaxes them, especially those that don’t like strangers pointing black boxes at them (the camera). Dogs need to see your eyes.
