Pet Portrait Awards

It’s Doggy Thursday!

Two lovely dogs in the studio today, to take part in the National Pet Portrait Awards, and make a donation in support of DogsTrust.  Shea is a Japanese Husky (a Shiba Inu) with a great nature, and Marley is a Labrador Pup with a lively, playful disposition!  Here they are…
