Pet Tributes

---

Over the years, I have drawn or painted several pets that family or friends have lost. It's a joy to try and capture just a piece of the essence that once was. One of my favorite paintings was Sammy, for Lynda Fire, a little Dachshund belonging to our good friend. Sammy was very special, and I hope his painting helps in some small way with his loss.  

Sappho was my wife's dog when we first met. She lived to be 17 years old, and was the greatest German Shepard/Husky mutt of a dog you could ask for. She shed enough each month to construct a replica of her, but she was terrific.
