Very sweet painting! Love his mournful thoughtfulness.

Interesting you see that Taryn. I found out from the owner that Stella has been living with chronic back issues for a year. They just can't bear to lose her.

Great dog portrait, Julie.

Great piece Julie. Full of emotion.

This just makes me feel as though there should be a children's book written about this dog, and more paintings to accompany the story. It's wonderful.

Thank you ladies -- and especially Charlotte who I consider the queen of the pet portraits!
