I met a very great local artist here.  He does all hand drawings from a picture of your dog.  I thought I would share how I decided to memorialize my Sassy Sugar Bear.  He does awesome work.  He does any breed of dog and I found the eyes to be so awesome.  They capture the soul. 

He will ship to any where if anyone would be interested      http://www.bark.....anine.com/     His name is Taylor Burkum  or fb page  facebook.com/barkmcanineportraits

That is absolutely beautiful!  What size is it?  So cool...thanks for sharing the link.

Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13.  Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14.  She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self.  Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

This is an 11x14 but he does many many sizes.  I wanted a nice size just because Sassy is so special to me.  She is my heart.

I responded a little more in depth on your blog post but I had to click on here anyway just to see that astoundingly beautiful and touching portrait of your heart and soul, SASSY SUGAR BEAR I could look at that portrait a hundred times and find out something new about her each time just by gazing into her eye!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your Sassy with us:-) Sally and Happy Hannah

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Love love love this artist's work! Sassy's sparkle really comes through in this drawing, what a treasure.

We put it on our Facebork page too and hope that he gets more customers, he sure is talented.

Thank you Rene.  I saw it on the FB page.  Everytime I see it I smile.  He did such a great job.  He treasures every dog, cat or animal that he does.  Sassy's picture will be a part of his "Wall of Fame" in his studio and he asked if when I come to pick it up if he can get a picture with her  :)
