May: going to the dogs

I was again a volunteer artist drawing pet portraits for the Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County’s April fundraiser. They collect donations and pet photos, and we select which pets we want to draw or paint.
I ended up doing dogs, even though I love my cats. After the third portrait I realized why: doggies wear their hearts on their faces, which is the essence of what I try to capture in my human portraits!
