Color pencils on natural Mi Teintes paper, about 7.5″ x 7.75″. Reference photo by Amber.
This is Ruffian! He’s an odd mix, part Shih Tzu, part Lhasa Apso, part American Pit Bull Terrier, and part goof off! A shelter found him when he was 10 months old, wandering the streets with tonsillitis and a skin infection. As soon as I saw him though, he stole my heart!
I love Ruffian with all my heart, and every day he has his ways of showing me how much he loves me too; playing with the cats, throwing all his toys on me one at a time, just making me laugh! Whether it’s by laying his head in my lap or sitting there quietly with me, he’s been there through good times and bad. I hope that I have several more years with this wonderful dog so I can show him all the love that he has shown me!! – Amber
