"Barney".This little ragamuffin came to stay with me as a rescued waif and stray,he was a Gypsy's dog,didn't know what a house was,and his idea of a bed was to curl up on a plastic bag. He was such a lovable little rogue, he stayed for almost 10 years.So gentle with the heart of a lion, my best friend. sadly he died in my arms,after getting a tumor.

NEVER SAW THIS ONE KEVIN. TERRIFIC WORK ON YOUR WONDERFUL FRIEND. SORRY HE'S GONE NOW. LUMP IN MY THROAT WHEN I HEAR OF A LOVING LOSS.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joanie. He was special. Your just like me, abig soft at heart. We used to foster other waits and strays as well. Barney seemed to know that they needed help, and took charge of them and showed them around and helped them settle in.

This is lovely and you have captured his character. Have you tried maybe a watercolour wash for the backgrounds to complement your work? Just a thought great piece. Kathy

Artist Reply: Barney was my own dog, so knew his charactor really well. This one was from the heart, as sadly he died not long before I did his portrait. Liked your advice about the wash, will give it a try. Thanks once again.
