Shadow portrait + Austin talk

oil on wood painting, 8"x10", 2006

 A portrait for a patron who lost his dog, Shadow.  When I painted this originally, it had been many years since I knew the sadness of losing a beloved pet.  Years later, when we put Austin down, I really felt what Bob must have been feeling when Shadow died.  It's just absolutely awful.

  Austin made me a dog person, and I'm grateful we had close to 10 years with him.
