This is my most recent scratchboard drawing. It is a drawing of my cousins’ dog, Cosby. For the first time I included more than just the dog’s head in the drawing. I usually do more of a close-up. It could be a new way of approaching these portraits. I welcome thoughts on this topic.

this is great work!
Thank you so much!
Wow! The detail is wonderful! I had to read the caption again to make sure it wasn’t a photograph.
I just discovered your website, and I’ll be back to browse.
If you like dog stories, you might want to check out my website, http://maijaharrington.com. I’m posting chapters from my book-in-progress, “Funny Tails: Adventures and Misadventures in Living with Pugs,” a lighthearted look at life with our 3 pugs plus various foster pugs from Pug Rescue of North Carolina. Readers tell me it’s pretty funny.
Best wishes,

Thanks so much, Maija. I am glad that you found my site. I do like dog stories and look forward to reading your book-in-progress.
He’s great, and I like having the full body included. He looks as though he is about to go and get involved in something …
Thanks, Anna. I think I will try some more full-bodied poses. It is always good to challenge myself in a new way.
Very good….At first glance, I thought it was a photo. Great detail!
Thank you, Mary. I appreciate your comments.
Hi Nance. These drawings keep getting better and better. Not only are they beautiful they are extremely interesting. Your ability to capture detail is incredible. Im saving up for one of my own. xoxoxoxo.
