Paint Party Friday (Week 41)


©2011 Artist: Sheri Cook
6 x 6 Gallery Wrapped Acrylic Painting
PORTRAIT OF TESS
-
This beautiful Golden Retriever belonged to my dear friend Lisa.
She accompanied us on many friendly walks together over
a period of ten years. Tess always had love for me like I was part of her pack.
She recently passed away and I surprised Lisa with this gift.
We both cried when she opened it.
Miss you Tess.....
