Here is the painting that I’ve been working on to give away. It is going to a woman I know who is very generous. This past year her dog Jade, who she loved very much, died. I know it’s been difficult for her, and I decided to paint a portrait of Jade to send to her this year. She doesn’t know I’m doing this, and I don’t think she reads my blog but you never know…it is a public blog, after all. My plan is to mail it to her next week.
I am almost finished, but I’ll share the first couple of images with you. You can’t tell from the pictures, but the painting is 18″x24.”

Thanks, mom!
What a cool background! And a beautiful dog:)

She is going to LOVE it. So kind, Melody.
Warmest Regards, Connie

Mel, I love the finished product which you haven’t posted….and I love the snow coming down on your website…. very nice and Christmasy on this warm Dec. day.
Thanks, mom! I love the snow too. Eric said it’s cheesy, but I don’t care!
