Of course, thank you for doing that for me. A few years ago one of our members daughter was in college and was doing artwork for members for a very reasonable price. She drew it from the picture that I posted of the two of them. It is an amazing tribute to them and I cherish it.

As an art professor and painter of more than 45 years, I’d give that piece an “A”. So much more than just a copy of a photo.

You have, and have had, beautiful dogs.
