Oh my. Jeanne, you've captured the energy and essence of my sweet Smokey pup. I am totally thrilled with this painting. It's one of your BEST paintings and I am so excited it's going to hang in my home. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm a lucky owner of this new painting.
Kindly, Susan

Thank you SO much, Susan! Smokey is such a doll, I enjoyed every minute I spent painting her sweet, smiling face! The way the dappled sun captured her, the slight waviness of her hair, those big brown eyes...a sheer joy! Thank you so much! Jeanne
