Melbourne - Australia

The thanks are mine Kelley. You paid this little fellow a huge tribute with your return visit.

Ocala, FL - United States

Thank you Rosy...

Melbourne - Australia

Not as surprising as you may think Kelley, both my daughter and her husband are Leo-Rats born a handful of days apart, my grandparents also :) Sincere warm wishes - grief will always draw us towards whatever will help the healing process. Just remember Kelley, the deeper the love, the deeper the grief and loss, and that is *not* something negative, but a sign of genuine health and deep affection.

Ocala, FL - United States

Dear Rosy, Happened upon this little guy once again. I think I'm missing my mom who passed away this Feb., she was a Cancer Monkey, I'm a Libra Pig... (my husband is also a Libra Pig, figure the odds on that one!) F/V

Beautiful work! v/f

Melbourne - Australia

looooooooooool now that you mention it, it does rather remind me of how our dog Abby used to look just as she threw herself on her back on the ground exposing her tummy and thereby alerting us to the fact that she had torn up another newspaper lol. That was the worst mischief she ever got up to, darling gentle girl that she was. And who can blame her. Puppy discipline was a loud whack of the newspaper against our hand and sometimes gently on her nose. (Hmmm must paint her)

Sudbury, ON - Canada

I have to come back and post on this one Rosy, since I love it ! Reminds me so much of the look my dog gives me when he has done something wrong!

Thank you Lenore I'm so glad you like this little fellow. Ironically I realised after spending ages fiddling with his fur then using the fractilus filter to help things along, that in fact, I could have done this one much quicker as a pastel! Go figure lol. Really blows the theory that digital is quick and easy HA! :D
