I love dogs and we've been pretty lonesome since losing Pablo, our great little Beagle cross, last fall. It's been fun doing these portraits, since I feel I get to know the dog while I'm painting them, even if it's just from photos. In the case of Sammy I had the good fortune to meet him, which helped a lot.<BR><BR> I'll be gone over the weekend and plan to be back Monday with another post. Have a great weekend, everyone.Don Grayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.com
