This piece received the honorable mention award in Art and Color 365 Magazine's 2024 open competition. Miley's portrait was a very special one as she was my childhood dog, and a big part of my life for many years. She was a total sweetheart and also extremely smart. She won many awards over her lifetime at local dog shows and was always a crowd favorite. With so many amazing pieces in the competition it was an honor to have 'Portrait of Miley' recognized.
