This painting was as enjoyable to paint as it was watching all that inspired it! My Dogs... my girls.
They are a never ending source of amusement & joy. Each with a distinct personality, all lovable and at times slightly aggravating, to me & each other. Arrow constantly teases ginger and chases her for her 'baby'. When not tormenting Ginger she runs circles around Daisy whom she loves, always wanting to be with her big sister - luckily, due to her endless energy, her big sister is losing weight during play. I've spent the past few days cartooning I think I'll stick with it a while.
Recently, close to where I live someone shot two dogs, and then tried to hide it...
What kind of human behaves like this? & then tried to hide it.. I've worried about my dogs getting shot since I moved here as it's not uncommon to hear gunshots. I've trained them to stay close to home, yelling at them if they venture into the bush away from sight. Shooting a dog is equivalent to shooting someones family member & should be treated as such.
Growing up in Toronto, I always thought gun violence was in the 'city', yet here surrounded by all this beauty - hearing shooting you realize theres one less deer, moose or bear to be seen & it appears you an also shoot 'just for fun'... don't let anyone tell you gun violence is only in cities. I really hope they find out who did this and they are punished for causing such suffering.
I'd like to promote a product today! If you have arthritis - this ball is light weight, easy to throw and the girls LOVE it, it's also easy to find if it lands amongst the leaves. Chuck it- kick fetch! They love it- I love it, and it's tuff when the two of them can both pull at it for hours on end. There's no excuse not to play with the dogs! Winter will be here soon enough & they need the exercise. Arrow prefers all 'chuck it' balls as the orange is nice & bright & small ones are hard rubber & bounce but we have lost a few in the woods - I guess we'll have to wait for spring thaw. Today it's a beautiful sun filled day!
From Letters From Stoic: And if God is pleased to add another day, we should welcome it with glad hearts.
That's how I feel every morning, thankful for another day, especially when I get to spend it tossing the ball with the dogs...
they make my heart glad. Painting them made my heart glad too. Do what you love!
...And love will come wherever it is asked. ACIM
Farewell.
