Well, this is not really
him, but sure does resemble him. I will
do another painting one day of the real thing.
He was an awkward and lanky golden retriever pup that arrived at our
neighbors´ home and quickly tried to climb their picnic table, but his wobbly
legs would not cooperate with the rest of his fast-growing body. He discovered we were home a lot more than
his owners and spent the day camped out on our porch or following us around the
yard. Sam was quickly adopted as our
“granddog”. He grew up to be a strapping
96-pound lapdog! He was exceptionally
smart and talented (as any grandmother would tell you) and was always into
something that made us laugh.
Watch for more stories about Sam and the other dogs we have
known coming soon.
As you will see, I am retooling my blog to reflect my new
focus on animal art…specifically pet portraits.
Please see my pet portrait page here, if you would
like more information on a custom portrait as a gift for a loved one or yourself.
