| “Bella
is the best German Shepherd ever. She is intensely loyal and believes in
taking at least one long walk a day.” |
“Uncle Bear
was a barn cat we had for a long time. He had a very intense stare. When
I paint, I always begin with the eyes because they are so expressive and
really make the animal who it is.” |
Electra:
“This was my mom’s first dressage horse. She is gentle and still lives
with us.” |
Donar:
“Silly Newfoundland puppy with his devoted bear. He carried that bear
around for a year.” |

loved.” |

home.” This painting was featured on the cover of the Journal of the
