There is an exciting new competition at ArtistsNetwork.com! The “Best In Show” competition sponsored by Jerry’s Artarama, is open to all artists. For each entry, A portion of each entry will be donated to a nonprofit animal welfare organization, the Dumb Friends League. To help prepare for the competition, I’m working on a series of pet portraits. This first episode in the series will be a portrait of a Yorkshire Terrier!
