A sad day....

Precious Nelson, 8/1/97 - 12/10/12

We had to put our darling Precious down.  She was such a loving, joyous little bundle.  We will miss her SO MUCH.

Why is it always so hard?  It's like a little piece of your heart is torn out.

World's Cutest Dog - PRECIOUS NELSON

I got Precious a new squeaky toy. She won't let it out of her sight and all I hear is squeak-squeak-squeak.

I won't be painting the next few days. My last outdoor show of the season is this weekend at the Castle Rock (CO) ARTFEST. This is a great juried show with artists from all over the country.

Stop by Booth 71 to say hi. I'm featuring only abstract work in this show.

Precious contacted by modeling agency!

About a month ago I posted a photo of my dog, Precious, modeling her new coat (see top photo.) Precious got an email from a German modeling agency!!! She was very flattered and excited (especially when I told her the news with a treat in my hand), but the thought of international travel made her a bit nervous. She is, at 12 (84) years old, an octogenarian after all, and feels it's a little late for a new career in modeling.
