The watercolor was inspired by the recent dog show my daughter and I attended in Des Moines.

My intent was to photograph as many breeds as possible, which was a little tricky as most of the people were shampooing and brushing their dogs in preparation for the show ring. A young gal was holding three cute Pomeranians and rushing to get them to the show ring. The dogs were huge fluffs of fur and we watched as the trotted quickly in the ring with their trainers.
