Skye Terrier Dog Portrait in Pencil

It has been fairly busy around here lately and I do apologize for the lack of posts...shows, workshops, commissions and personal commitments have kept me from blogging. Here is the latest drawing of a Skye Terrier mix done using graphite pencils. I like the idea of the vignette on this piece and find it suits the portrait well.
