"Sammy and Fozy"

this is the painting i couldn't get posted before. and it's still kind of dark because i can't get outside and photograph it-the card seems to be working all of a sudden but today has been so strange - so very very dark and rainy - in fact it hasn't stopped raining all day and we're reminded of that horrid flood we just a little over a year ago. we were without electricty for a couple hours this morning and our golden nellie has been freaking out with all the lightning and thunder. this started around 5 am when my hubby and i both went to the window to check out what was going on ...the oddest thing - lots of lightning - almost like a fire - but no noise...it was all happening on the west side of town and we couldn't hear it but we could sure see it! - then in time it got to us and hasn't stopped yet! should have spent the day in my studio but nellie won't leave me alone - she's drooling on my feet as i write this. anyway - the newly weds loved their gift and i'll add a few finishing touches and let it dry and then varnish and frame it. it was a lot of fun to paint!
