Kona. Oil on 9" x 12" birchwood canvas. 

Kona lives in British Columbia, and I didn't think she was going to make it there. It took well over two weeks, almost three for her to arrive. Phew! His sister, Nishka, traveled with her and I'm going to post a photo or two of her parents opening the box from their long trip.

I thought that Nishka was going to be the easier of the two dogs, since her photograph contained a late afternoon sunlight "rim" around her head. However, it turned out differently; this was far harder to do that Kona, which I thought would be difficult with all the layers of white fur.
