The Girl or The Dog

I have put my portrait of Stephanie C. on temporary hold so that I can paint a picture of my daughter's just-deceased dog Zoe. I had the pleasure of dog-sitting Zoe for five weeks this summer and had the chance to take several photos of her lolling about Central Park.

I am visiting my daughter in a couple of weeks and my hope is that a painting of her much-loved dog will ease her pain a bit.
