Cathy Lester is an internationally collected animal artist whose pet portraits are in the private collections of movie stars, show dog owners and devoted pet owners. She works in pencil, watercolor and oil pastels. Her pencil portraits capture fine detail and the very soul of each dog. Visit her at www.cathylester.com. She used acrylic paint layered for texture, felted ears and tongue in her mask. While Cathy normally works in very tight realism, this mask went in a whole new direction - the goofy side of all dogs. "Hug your dog today!" she says
