corgi dog portrait

Winnie

20×20 inches

oil on canvas

My very last commission of 2016,  finished,  packed and shipped just

in time to find its place under the Christmas tree!     It’s in FedEx’s

good hands as of this afternoon.

This gorgeous tri-color corgi –  Winnie –   whom I met and had

an extensive photo shoot with her and her owner in Maine awhile

back (alas,  poor sweetheart now deceased) is en route to Florida as

a big surprise Xmas present for her husband.

I have had grown men cry when they see their beloved animals

memorialized in paint.     I get chills up and down my spine when I am

able to touch people’s hearts like that at their very core.
