This is a portrait of our dear pet Salty who passed on about 6 years ago.   He was a golden retriever mix that we rescued from the pound when he was 2 years old.  We absolutely loved this dog.  He made a wonderful family pet for our 3 boys as they grew from elementary school through high school.  We will never forget this special dog.

I have been wanting to paint some of my favorite pet friends and here is my first one.  Meet Charlie, a sweet and loving blue healer and pit bull mix.  Charlie was a pound dog when my oldest son and his wife picked him up about eight months ago.   Now he gets lots of loving attention, home cooked salmon dinners and daily walks in the woods.   We are glad to have you around Charlie and I'm glad to have finally painted the first of hopefully many pet portraits.
