"Bailey"

Several months ago when Bailey, a precious Yorkie,  passed away I received a phone call from my friend Sharon asking me to paint his portrait for her sister-in-law.   Those of you who have pets in heaven know that emptiness that losing a dear snuggly tail-waggin' friend creates in your heart.Bailey has a sweet smile that is infectious, and it was an honor to paint him.

 I would love to have been there on Christmas when Cheryl received this gift from her family. Here's to YOU Bailey!

"Lily"

"Lily" is a beautiful cocker spaniel.  She was commissioned by a friend as a Christmas present for her mother.
I fell in love with "Lily" when I painted her eyes.
