Close ups
I know from firsthand experience what a hold these four legged members of the family can have on the heart.
“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”..... John Grogan
“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”......Will Rogers
This lovable dog belonged to the son of the neighbor who helps me so much. The son's name is Mike, and he's been a great help with my computer woes...I'm a neanderthal at computer savvy.
Mike...I hope this painting will bring you and your family some sweet smiles of remembrance.
What a beautiful tribute, Dean. The painting made me smile and feel happy before I realized it was for his passing. I am sure that Mike will LOVE having it. it will remind him of many happy memories.
ReplyDeleteBonjour cher ami,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime le regard de cet adorable toutou... Un très joli portrait.
J'admire les belles nuances de couleurs que vous avez subtilement utilisées ainsi que la lumière qui illumine votre sujet.
Je pense que nous avons beaucoup à apprendre avec les animaux... Chaque jour je le pense encore plus...
