I am showing off some of the silent auction winners I have done in my career. This hunter was a great shot of a loyal companion that the opportunity made possible. The classic style.
I was at a dog event yesterday and with the wind and noise, I decided to wander, eat some coffee and a croissant and sit it out. And I look up and see my old friend Kanin and her owner! This is a pastel commission from a few years ago, but I had to bring here out again just to see how she had grown.
...are when I'm sick. I'm a big baby.
Every once in a blue moon, my sciatic nerve get irritated and I'm just no good. I wouldn't say that it's a chronic problem, as the last time I suffered an episode was about 13 years ago. The damn nerve is acting up again and like the last time, there was no heavy lifting involved. The last time I tossed a newspaper into the back of my SUV; this time, I tossed a piece of cardboard into the back of my baby brother's SUV. The last time, it really hurt; this time it did too - it is the kind of pain that makes you nauseaus. The last time I rested and did stretching exercies, which I've been doing now. Ada, my beloved German Shorthaired Pointer, cuddled next to me the last time. This time, I'm all alone.
I miss having a dog. I miss the comfort. I miss the reassurance they return. How do they do that?
