When I paint - I search for the 'soul' of the beloved

Fur-ball before me...  

...delving into their eyes - and the occasional chewed toy or soggy tennis ball - to explore their heart.

I have shared my life with many a wonderful BFF* over the years & I simply love capturing a piece of their great big, squishy, adoring & loyal hearts on canvas.

To glance at their portrait & feel their presence is to be reminded of the private & beautiful bond we share - even once my friend no longer walks by my side.
The constant remembrance of the warm fuzzies that only a BFF* can give. 🤗
