Our Relationships With Our Pets

5/16/2016

I have begin a series that I hope captures our relationships with our pet friends. I love painting because when I am in the studio it is a world of no words..just shape, value and color.
I think the other place where there is comfort and "no words" is when we are with our pets.
I talk to them all the time but I don't really think they know that I call them "My sweet collie boy " and my "Sweet Magala".
Those are my pet names for my rough collie and our hound dog. I also call them "smooth criminals" but I say it with such light in my voice that they think it is high praise.
Thank goodness for pet friends and to have love present in a warm fuzzy way.

They do give me so much every day. Comfort, companionship and they remind me of how to live.
They are in the moment and they are an open book .
