I've just completed this painting for a friend as it's her birthday soon. It's of her new Border collie puppy. Fingers crossed she likes it as I've not painted for a while.

Simply magic Eils, at a glance I could have imagined it to be a photo. You are a lady of many talents. What's the Border Collie's name?

Just precious! Mr. Green So much personality in that adorable face.
It may have been a while since you painted,
but you haven't lost a tick of your skill, Eileen.

You friend will be thrilled, I guarantee it!

... if not, contact me for my mailing address. Cool
