The fact that I feel I can post this painting, a surprise gift for a friend, with impunity speaks volumes about how last year was such a loss to my artistic creditability. The few faithful souls who clicked on this blog day after day, searching in vain for new work, were left mostly unfulfilled from May until year's end. I'm trying to not let that happen again. Voltaire, or Volt for short, is an American Bulldog and a real sweetie. Alas, once again the photo isn't nearly representational of the real piece. Subtle pinks and blues appear garish and disjointed...Arrrgh! David, if you do see this, it is really pretty nice.
