What a dog!!!!!!!!

A lot of people ask me about my work since it can be very political or making some social statement. I have a love of painting the human face, am intrigued by the human condition and have a deeply empathetic soul. I guess those factors play into my work, but I don’t actually sit down and plan to do social or political art. Believe it or not, there are times when I am moved to do something that speaks to the joys in life. This is toots (now residing in doggie heaven), and boy was she a bad bad bad drooly, smelly, naughty, greedy doggy BUT we LOVED her. why has she got a pepsi can on her head? My children were eating pizza and as usual she was wanting a bit. My son bet my daughter toots would keep still long enough to keep a pepsi can on her head if she thought the morsel of pizza was coming her way.I think she kept it on her head about 5 minutes. I am sure it could have been longer, toots could sit an hour staring at a piece of food if she thought it might come her way.
