Belgian Malinois in Graphite Dog Portrait

This happy Belgian Malinois was the subject for a custom graphite portrait  I offered to do  in 2011 for a silent auction for  the International Association of Canine Professionals.  The highest bidder would get a custom portrait of their own dog.  A women bid and won.   We started the process of communicating through emails, but a photo was never photo was decided upon by the lady.   Years went by and now we are at 2019.  She contacted me and asked did I remembered her and would I still honor her winning bid.   Of course I new exactly who she was and also I was happy to honor the bid.   At this point she provided an excellent photo which makes things easier for me!  Here is handsome boy, Maverick.
