Portraits in Pastel-Red Heads!


Not all red-heads are human - there are birds, fish, and dogs also. I met this dog while visiting a woman for the red-head project. Their hair was the same color! The breed is called a Pharaoh Hound, thought to be like the dogs depicted in Egyptian paintings. They are not a common sight here in Minnesota, as their fur is very short. I liked the way the dog looked and it did pose nicely for me. The backlit profile was especially striking. The other elements were added for fun!
