The most amazing piece of artwork arrived at my doorstep this past Saturday, this gorgeous portrait of my little Dudley. This beautiful painting was done by the very talented Linda O'Neill over at Abby Creek Art:

You might remember some months ago, I took these photos of Dudley on laundry day. Every time I bring the sheets downstairs, I always throw them in front of the basement door so that the next one to go downstairs can load them into the washing machine. Dudley very frequently makes a bed in the sheets until they are brought down to their final destination.
Linda used my laundry day photos as the inspiration for her pet portrait.

Linda signed, dated and titled this 8" x 8" gallery canvas on the back side. If you haven't seen Linda's beautiful work before, stop by and pay her a visit, you will not be disappointed with her very expressive dog portraits that always capture the beauty and personality of her subjects. Thanks Linda....I will always treasure this piece of artwork from you!!!!
