My Greta-girl crossed that bridge on New Year's Eve day. Still miss her.
This is a wonderful painting!

Beautiful! It's in the eyes and something in the way she sits.

I am not an art critic, but I know the subject matter. You have captured the softness of her old eyes. The happiness she was feeling about being outside, as Winter was coming to an end in late February, shows in the calmness of her expression. You obviously saw this calm happiness and put into your work. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Nice illustration. Captured the tired old dog perfectly. Very expressive.

You have captured the old dog look so well. I too have an old dog and I love her dearly.
