'RED HOT & IRISH'
pastel on board, 16" x 20"
private collection, Tennessee, USA

Picture
One of my clients asked me to do a custom pet portrait for one of her good friends.  She said that
they were having trouble photographing these two Irish Setters and asked if I could take some photos of them.  We drove out to her friend's farm on a spring day in March.  Their owner took them out on leashes and the three of us attempted to make them cooperate for the cameras.  They were a bit excited and then the winds picked up which seemed to amplify their excitement.  I finally suggested that they just stand and have a relaxed conversation and let the dogs move around on their own.  They finally settled down some and I ended up with a dozen or so shots between the two of them that would aid me in the details of their features.  This is the resulting pastel portrait.
