  2. Your talent warms my heart…can’t wait to get a pet (still working on the hubby) so I can have him/her painted. Good luck with the art show!

  3. I love how you capture their fuzzy little souls! I am confident it brings a lot of comfort and joys to the families when they need it.
    That is a gift!
