God I have lost any good fresh youthful look. Look at my puppy eyes and tiny discrete smile, hiding my double chin of course.

The below extraordinary painting is by Wendy and James, dog park people regulars. They, James, have captured Whiskey perfectly. I have zero doubt that James and Wendy shall go down in history thanks to James paintings. He is clearly divinely talented for portraits of all sorts.

In an ideal world where we had a bit of money (quite a bit) and time, I would offer him 50K for a portrait of EACH of our 10 pets in the last 30 years, including Pele. That is 5K a painting. He claims he is totally amateur.  Smaller format paintings on canvas are also accepted. Especially for Pele. Mostly because we are pressed by time and not too bad for money that much.
