"You had me at Hello"

Loved Companions 

Honoring our loved companions that had us at the tail wag "hello". From the first look, lick, tail wag or bark, they have our hearts and give unconditionally of themselves. For this and so many additional reasons I do not tire of portraying the love. Doing my best to reflect and capture the spirit of the bond that owner and dog have.

I have only seen that look of innocent, trusting love and devotion in young children. Oh, and my Risa every day when I return or speak to her "~)

"Sand Skin"

Woody. 8" x 10" acrylic on canvas.

The Shar Pei is an ancient Chinese breed and the name means Sand Skin which refers the the bristle like coat.

Loyal and protective, the Shar Pei is for personalities that are leaders as they have dominant personalities.

Like Chows, they have a blue black tongue and make wonderful companions when they are socialized early.

Love the background color the client chose!
