I got acquainted with Andy Mathis when he was active on the Daily Painters site. I always go there every day to see the new paintings after I check all my other daily blogs. He had a painting of a puppy that I recognized from one of my photos I had uploaded to the Wetcanvas Reference Library. So nice to see it all painted.
He is a veterinarian from Georgia and also paints. I just came from his blog and enjoyed looking thru his posts. He has a couple of dog videos that are cute. Real short ones but I can get my puppy "fix" without the danger of bringing another dog home to live. Much safer than looking at puppies in person. Just not quite as satisfying as having them in my arms and smelling that delicious puppy breath.
I emailed Andy after seeing his painting and told him I really liked what he had done with it. He answered and then sent me a Giclee print (he sells prints of his work). I really treasure it and will eventually treasure it more as my Friday is 10 years old and some day I will not have her. But I will always have the print. Thank you Andy.

How good is that, it was so kind of him to send you a print! I know what you mean about puppy love, we've got 3 dogs and I always feel we could fit in more (not mentioning the 5 rescue bunnies and 5 rescue guinea piggies!) Sucker for a hard luck story! Perhaps I should take a leaf from your book Jeanne and visit animals online instead of in the flesh!
Oh Jeanne... what a wonderful gift! I have to go visit his blog.....
:-)
that was sweet
That was nice of Andy!!! I love how you we can make such good friends over the internet. Your birds are fantastic!!! Great colors and textures. I haven't had much internet time lately so I'm a bit behind and am slowly catching up.
