These were taken early during the month-long show when the trees outside were still fairly green. Those who’ve been to the show recently have…
We’ve all heard of 101 Dalmatians. For me, the magic number was actually 100, only one of which was a dalmatian. Yes, recently I completed a commission of 100 distinct dog breed portraits for a client. Very interesting project indeed!
