The spirit animal portrait for this Finnish lady is now finished. It took a lot longer than expected and caused a fair bit of frustration.

Pirjo’s animal turned out to be a dog and she told me that her Mom had a white, American Akita that she loved, so I decided to use that for the portrait. This did make the portrait even harder, though, since it was a blonde woman and a white dog.

It was a real challenge to make but challenges can be fun
