"The Kiss of Hearts" (blue Doberman) 18 x 24 inches Prismacolor pencil and acrylic wash on cream Canson paper Collection of Marlaina Battle Ramona, California ABOUT THIS PORTRAIT When Marlaina contacted me about a memorial portrait of her beloved Sky, a blue Doberman, she was originally planning to get a head study. After reviewing her photos I felt that this image was a much deeper way to capture the love shared between them. Marlaina agreed, and the busy marina in the background of the photo was changed to a tropical beach, which was personally meaningful to Marlaina as well. CLIENT COMMENTS Good morning Kevin! It is just SO beautiful! I was so overcome by emotion from the moment I was opening it that I just could not hold back the tears! I truly felt Sky's spirit, and I am certain she had a part in guiding you through such a perfect creation for me to remember our love/bond by. I have never felt anything as strong as this in my life! There really aren't any words to truly describe how this has touched my heart! We will absolutely be calling on you again to do more work for us in the future!! --- Marlaina
