Skippy

Greetings to you blog readers! I've been quite busy with several projects this Summer, and today I'm sharing Skippy the King Charles Cavalier! Skippy is a very special dog, and he had an incredible story. He was rescued from a horrible life in a puppy mill, where he spent his whole life in a cage. His feet had never touched grass until he was rescued by his owner, my brave and beloved Aunt Susan. He is also, unfortunately, totally blind. He now lives in St. Louis with his new mom and dad and his three Cavalier "brothers," Titus, Atticus, and Oliver. He looks like the cutest plush toy you've ever seen, and while his eyes can't see, they are incredibly bright and they are my favorite part of him. I painted Skippy on a 16"x20" canvas, with oil paint.
I have many things in the works so I'll have many new projects to show you real soon! Y'all come back, now, y'hear?
