San Francisco Photo Shoot

Jackie

8" X 10" colored ink

2011

Tom and I spent two weeks in California in April visiting family and friends. While there I had a photo shoot with Jackie, a small mix-breed rescue dog with a great big personality, on Baker Beach in San Francisco. A line of multi-million-dollar mansions overlooks the beach and the Golden Gate Bridge provides a spectacular background. I'm hoping all Jackie's Bake Beach buddies will fly me back out to California for another photo shoot and more PenPets portraits!

Two Kitties in Color

Charlie Brown

These two kitties were fun to conceive and draw in color, especially their eyes--green and golden! Here's how Pam, their person, describes them:

Missy was a little diva. She liked to boss ole Charlie Brown around and she would talk your ear off! She loved to tell you a story or give you her opinion. Charlie Brown is very quiet and laid back. He’s a big old softy.

"OH    MY    GOODNESS!    IT    IS    WONDERFUL!    I    LOVE    IT!

Boy is absolutely wonderful. He looks just like I remember him. Princess, I look at her face and I know it's her without looking at her collar tag! My dear old Georgia, it IS her! I see my wonderful doggies, and smiles and tears of remembrance. Thank you!"

A Couple of Cool Cats

Cali and Earl

8" X 10" colored ink

I love this description of Cali and Earl from Nancy, their person: "Earl is a one-year-old long-haired tuxedo that I adopted from the Greater Cat Resuce. He was feral but now owns my home. Cali is an eight-year-old Calico who has accepted her adopted brother with the grace of an older woman." Perfect!
