    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! :D 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! :smt023
