Melissa - you know how I feel about Gunnar, and how much I like purple. We get all this purple clover in our yard each spring. It was the perfect setting for him in my eyes. I'm just so happy this turned into such a gorgeous capture of Gunnar :-))) Thank you very much! #5853812

Melanie what an awesome capture of Gunnar!! The lighting is excellent. The color of his coat just glows under it. Even the purple of the clover is just lovely. This belongs on a (newly painted) wall somewhere very special in your home. #5855053

This image caught me off guard surfing through all the images, it is so regal and beautiful. I love that your dog looks in all his glory and not silly etc, looks like a REAL potrait of him. #5855228

Thanks Molly! Gunnar is my more serious irish setter of the two - Daisy is more the silly one . Gunnar has his moments though :-))) He loves his stuffie toys and he can get really silly over those. He has very long wavy feathering on his ears and very soulful eyes - I love to photograph him! #5859280

Hi Melanie, Ann told me to have a look at your gallery. So glad I did. Your
Irish family members are aboslutely stunning. This portrait took my breath
away. I am praying all is well with Gunnar. I know what it's like, they are not just pets, but real members of our families. I have 5 of my own. You, & Gunnar will be in my thoughts. #6260060
