I was thinking on a gift for my son and daughter in law. They do not have alot of outdoor interests but they have a great dog, a Bull Mastiff.
I found a local artist and had him do a portraite of the dog. He came over to the house and took about 20 pictures and we sat down and picked one for he watercolour and here is the result.
The best $200.00 I ever spent on a gift.
