Raven portrait in progress 7 - Seeing with the heart

Raven's pink tongue is finished.

Every time I share “in progress” pics with Cathy, she tells me a bit more about Raven. When I first started working with Cathy, Raven had a CD (Basic Obedience title). Today she wrote:

“Raven got his CDX, back in June, 2024. He received a Rally Novice title in November, 2024. That’s a RN. 

We may not have all the titles of others,

but loving life is first and foremost for our family.”

It warmed my heart when I read that. I think Cathy has her priorities straight. ♥️

The story behind a portrait is always important, to capture what the client sees. They see with their heart, not their eyes.
