This took me through the month of November.

~20 hours, oil paint on 4ft x 4ft wood.

Actually, the more I look at it sitting in cozy cove’s living room, the more I like it. The size was much bigger than I was used to, but it was definitely a fun process because I was more free and risky with the paint.  I feel like my love for my dog was really captured. I absolutely love Choo. I always say how I wish people were more honest and trustworthy like dogs. Plus, they’re always happy to see you regardless of what you’ve done to them just minutes before. Mankind could really learn from “lesser” animals..Choo has helped a lot of my family through depression and loneliness, she really is a part of the family. My dad surprised me the other day when he bent down to hug and pet Choo, despite being the one that was against having a dog in the first place. I think she’s grown on him. I wish that every child will at some point know the joy of having a pet; they really can heal a heart. 

It’s a Christmas present to my mother, she probably loves Choo more than I do.
