Dogs A - Z, on hiatus

Well, I've come to the unfortunate realization that I need to put my Dogs A - Z series on the back burner.  I need to find a medium to replace soft pastel for my pet portraits sooner rather than later; I just can't take the dust anymore!  My work in oil is still way too uneven to count on a quality result for my clients, so I'll have to keep working on that on the side.  I'm looking to revamp my website in a couple of months anyway, so I'll be working on a new gallery of colored pencil work, and possibly replace soft pastel with oil pastel...stay tuned!
