New Adoptee Gets a Pet Portrait

  Meet Scout!  He came to us in March 2012 when his owners had to find a different home for him.  Although he was very sad to lose his family of 8 years, from day one he accepted us as his new family.  He is a lover and sensitive soul -  yet a fearful dog of the world about him.  We took him to an animal communicator who said he "just wants to find peace and know where he belongs".  Well it was obvious to us that he belongs with us.  We will work with him to give him more confidence and gain peace.


 
face emerges on the canvas

His eyes are beautiful and when he is happy, they almost glow like sunlight through a chocolate tootsie pop :)   I wanted to capture him on canvas so I painted a pet portrait.

Scout seems pleased with the results!

A theme song always seems to emerge for my fur kiddos.  The theme song he came with is, "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley.  "... I will leave my heart wide open.  I will love and have no fear... "
