Pastel 20" x 14"
Jack & Taz - Pitbull & Great Dane.
The affection is almost tangible! And they both look so utterly, totally content! Sure, a scritchy and scratchy pastel however the overall soppiness comes through. Taz' eye has a lot to do with it.
Jack is the very special rescue who now lives with Annie and owns her heart. Big Taz is a actually a LOT MORE than a Great Dane, he's also Mastiff, Boxer, Pit and who-knows-what! A great mix, a love bug, and now much loved in return - he found (of course) a 'great' home.
Ultimately this is all about Annie, who works tirelessly networking and saving and fostering (and adopting!) critters, both canine and feline. It's Annie who created the affection shown in this sketch, who can train, gentle and socialise the most confused, and whose energy and devotion to animals is, well, awesome. And, of course, who's getting this sketch.

They look so sweet and from your description are very lucky, too.
If I didn't know for sure that this comes from a photo, I wouldn't have believed it! Their positioning says it all....I'm content, safe and I love you! Wonderful image and an excellent tribute to Annie and her exceptional work.

Specially like Jack, who looked (I thought) rather like Fan's greyhound of the same name, of blessed memory. But a pitbull, you say.
Lovely picture of devotion.
"Jack, who looked like a greyhound"...I clarified that with sarah! It was Taz who reminded her of Jack, the brindle greyhound that belonged to her daughter. I think I made the sequence of the name caption confusing.
Jack and Taz look happier than most couples I've seen! I love the way you capture their scrunching up to one another in the form of their bodies. Just lovely. MJW
