Meet Rosie!

"Rosie"
10" x 11" acrylic on canvas

Here's my newest dog commission...Miss Rosie (aka Batgirl). She's the sweetest, goofiest Lab with a tiny obsession for balls.

This quote reminds me of her...and all Labs in general!...

"I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles." ~Stephen Wright

Hope you all had a good St. Patrick's Day! Maisie is enjoying some leftover corned beef. She deserved some...being an O'Neill and all!

I love the Batman tag on Miss Rosie. She is gorgeous. I love the name, that's why I gave it to my little pup. Thanks for asking about her....keep an eye out for an e-mail.
