We were invited to visit our neighbors on Monday and I was planning on taking my painting as a surprise gift. And then just before we visited, I received a phone call saying that Peanut passed that day. She was hit by a car presumeably but no one ever stopped to say they had. They found her badly hurt, rushed Peanut to the vet but it was too late to save her. Yesterday I received a note from the little boy to whom Peanut belonged thanking me for the painting. I'm sure Peanut is in heaven as I do believe, all dogs go to heaven.

Love Peanut! Great color palette and expression.
Oh NO! I posted my first comment too quickly without reading your sad news about Peanut. How tragic...but how wonderful that she inspired you to do the painting and capture her sweet personality. I know her owners are so appreciative.
Aaaah... Peanut is beautiful. You're such a sweetheart for doing this. It's so hard for a family to lose their beloved friend that way. hugs!
