Jake...A Tribute in Pastel


Another recent commission of mine was Jake, a beautiful 2 year old chocolate Lab who sadly passed away due to cancer.  Here, he is captured for all time relaxing in his favorite position on his absolutely favorite couch.  My thanks go out to Adrienne for allowing me to be a part, however small, of keeping Jake's wonderful legacy alive...

Happy Spring!

Jude this is gorgeous, sad to hear he had such a short life. A lovely contribution to keeping his memory alive.
