It was such a delight to paint this little dog. I did not have the pleasure of meeing Gidget, but she seems full of wonderful character.  R.I.P Gidget – I’m sure you were a happy friend for those who knew you. 

 Wishing you both comfort and joy the Christmas. Merry Christmas! 

To each of my art loving friends and students, I want to say – thanks for being in my life!
