When I was asked to paint a "Yorkie" via e-mail, I wasn't thrilled with the first photo the owner sent. I couldn't see the coloring or the dog's expression very well. So, I asked her to send more...and thank goodness she did. The photo used to paint GROVER was actually of him in the backseat of her car sitting by a drink cup from 'Sonic'!

This is brilliant, such an adorable angle and cute aspect of the tongue! Skillfully painted which really shows your talent, really great job! Love it :)
Laura Grisham replied:
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! I paint what I see, really, and in the photo "Grover" had his little, pink tongue sticking out...his owner said he ALWAYS looks that way!
