Cutest Christmas Commission

Just a quick note to share a recent commission of Atka, one of my cutest subjects ever!  (He does have the advantage of being a puppy, and I've never seen a not-cute puppy, but still, that is one sweet face.)

Here's the photo I worked from, for comparison's sake -- you can see what a big difference cropping and enlarging the subject make.

I definitely loved working on this portrait.  It is a surprise Christmas gift - I can't wait to find out how it's received!
