Goodbye to Hanna

Today Hanna went to be with Gus and the Lord.

She would have been 12 years old on November 5.

She was a beautiful, sweet soul, and a great source of comfort, love,

and companionship for Dan and me.

We will miss her terribly. I will miss her presence on the patio

while I painted. I will miss the warmth of her big beautiful head

to hug and kiss. I will miss her excited , expectant search through the

grocery bags on shopping day to see what mommy brought home for her.

I will miss her warmth on the bed sleeping next to me. And the way she wanted to share whatever I was eating. Loved Peanut Butter!!

Goodbye, my dear baby girl....

"What?....WHAT?? 12x16" on Creative Edge canvas

A photo of this painting was on my post on April 3rd, before I had it completely finished. It has been finished and ready to sell for a few weeks, but I have been so busy obsessing over my unfinished paintings of Gus and Hanna (there are 4, in fact) that I am only now putting it on eBay. It is still one of my favorites.

This week has also been a stresser, because our Hanna (11-1/2 years old) has been under the weather. I'll soon post pictures of the paintings of her and Gus that I am working on.

"Goin' for a Spin" - 12x16" on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting was done on a Gallery Wrap canvas. The edges are painted all around, and it doesn't need a frame. I got the idea for this from seeing dogs that like to "hang on" to stuff. It can be a toy, a chew rope, or a piece of clothing...you can swing 'em around and the dogs love flying through the air. And of course, Hunter (my niece's Bagle puppy) provided inspiration!
