Well... this is an experiment on a couple counts.

First in that I mucked about with a new technique and put some colour in the eyes despite it being a black/white pencil sketch.

Second - and the reason why the white is distinctly GREY and the detail in shading isn't showing particularly well and there appears to be a crease in the upper left corner- my ratbag child decided to use my scanner as a trampoline (argh, what possessed you to do that La?!?!?) and now it makes a lovely grinding noise instead of scanning so I tried to take the picture with my camera instead, which hasn't been terrifically successful.

I so need a new photo resizing program. The one I have now is ancient and giving me such grief, freezing up all the time! (Gee I wonder why, it's only made to work with Windows 95 and for US computer...)

This was a lovely blue merle chap I saw at a show in Michigan some years ago. He was a bit frosted around the muzzle, lovely steely blue and velvet black. A bit of an older style perhaps, less flash than is popular but with such a quiet sense of calm devotion to his mum. She was talking and watching the show between petting him but during the whole show (conf and obed) his eyes never once left her, even a flicker. His gaze and sense of quiet but constant readiness stuck with me. I still wonder who he might be.
