This portrait was a little more difficult... the dark animals are just hard to get nice and rich looking. Plus, it seems that my computer is not in sync with my photo printer... the prints come out darker than I see them on the monitor. Eventually I will have to have some one come out and fix that. I can work around the problem until then. Working on the darker suede has helped with the blacks. But I am still trying some new surfaces... I just hate trying them on client work. If I am not happy, I end up starting over on the suede instead of trying to work out the problems.

finished pastel on suede

Done and shipped! The frame turned out a bit golder than I remember the sample being. But I still like it... It was framed by Roger's Frame Shop here in Ocala. He has been doing all my work for the last 25 years. He does great work and is a good friend.

Finished and off to the framer! I took photos of this outside in the sun light... so it is a little different color than the others... which were shot off my easel. And I think it is a little dark too. But close enough! I will add a photo of it in its frame when I get it back.
