Oliver's wrinkles make him look perpetually a.) perplexed, b.) forlorn, c.) guilty or d.) all of the above.
This drawing is one a series of dog portraits I've been working on this year. This winter I started drawing dogs in pen and ink and found a way of drawing that makes the finished product look like an etching. On lighter colored dogs the effect looks almost like dry-point etching. I'll be using the drawings in a calendar that will be one of my many new product offerings at the National Stationery Show in May -- just a few weeks away.
I take my inspiration from the dogs in the my neighborhood -- any stroll in the dog parks looks like a Westminster Dog Show parade. I want to thank the dogs and their owners in Boston's South End and Jamaica Plain for their patience and forbearance.
Oliver's wrinkles make him look just lovely!

Methinks I hear Oliver saying "I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy!"
