"George"

It's been a while since I was standing at my easel.  A motorcycle trip to upper-state New York and a plethora of domestic stuff have kept me away.  As you know, cold starts scare me, but to paraphrase Professor Higgins " By George, he's got it, I think he's got it."  Apropos, as this venerable Jack Russel is named George.  I have painted more than a few Jack Russel terriers and they have all been wonderfully sweet.  George was no exception.

What is it about Jack Russells that make them so endearing? Who among us has not been amused at Eddie's antics on the TV show Fraser? An interesting factoid: the dog who portrayed Eddie was named "Moose", an odd name for a little terrier. The few Jacks that I have crossed paths with have been a bit on the nervous side and would shake uncontrollably if I so much as looked at them funny. Yet they all, without exception, had sweet dispositions and although they looked rather fragile, were tough as nails. This old gal belongs to my friends Tom and Dave.
