INSIDE THE ARTWORK
The strongest words were not necessarily the toughest ones.

Lettering detail from German Shepherd.
The German Shepherd gave me a lot of words about work and ability.
Disciplined. Great Herders. Make Excellent Police Dogs. Service Dogs. Protective. Responsible.
But I also had Devoted, Faithful, Kind, Lovable, Sweet and Uber Loyal.
I used 68 different words and phrases and spent 14 hours turning them into the finished portrait.
That combination felt important.
People may notice what a German Shepherd can do first.
The people who love them usually talk just as much about who they are.
