A New Leash on Life (study)

A New Leash on Life

I plan on painting this on a much bigger canvas, but wanted to do a smaller version first. 

This is from one on the first photos taken of our dog, Frida. She had just gotten a new purple leash as a gift from Guy's daughter. A few days before she had escaped death at the pound and we were waiting for a ferry that was taking us on a vacation to the beach. Needless to say, we all had wonderful, bonding time and are SO grateful to have her in our lives - 

I think she is too.

Actually, this is Mexican Hot Chocolate - been craving it lately... guess cold weather will do that. 

For the past week I have been chillin' at the lake house with Guy and the dogs. It's been a wonderfully relaxed week with lots of painting, playing, visiting, reconnecting, celebrating and eating. 

Tomorrow we drive back and get back to the real world. 

Here is a great site about using art to make a big difference... thought you might like it... I did...
