Willy, Come! by Moira McLaughlin, 2009
Rumors are swirling that a dog has been spotted at the White House and that a male Portuguese Water Dog puppy might there to greet the Obamas when they arrive home today at 5:50 PM Eastern time. I am tracking all the First Dog news over at my other blog, The Obama Dog Blog.
In the meantime, I wanted to share my latest work with you entitled Willy, Come! I had the pleasure of working with Portie owner Buffy Nicolas on another collage of her boy Willy. Our first collaboration was the Porties for Obama - Hope piece. This one was inspired by Willy's playful exuberance, his passion for the water, and his obedience training expertise. I also wanted to incorporate the feeling of springtime in Virginia, where the Nicolas family lives, as well as Buffy's favorite colors.
Buffy's response: WOW! OH WOW!
Made me feel like the collage is a success.
Thank you to the super talented photographer, Lee Anderson, who took the black and white photo of Willy and allowed me to use it in this piece. And to Donna, his wife and business partner, who helped coordinate the process.
I also put the Willy collage on a line of greeting cards, journals, t-shirts, mugs and more. Visit my online store to see all the products. Here are some of my top sellers:
