New piece with new style for me.'

Since the plague I have started many new pieces of artwork but completed very few. This is one of those that I completed.

This plague has changed a lot of things in my life. Aside from going to the store and coming back home. I have not had contact with a lot of people in 1 year.

I have had time to meditate and concentrate on what I want my life to be about. I want to be kind ,loving and without hate or fear of anyone. I intend to put out some awesome artwork that comes from my soul..

I did get a beautiful little during the pandemic. She is a shelter and is a mixed Yorkie. She is a very smart little also.

This was just to tell you a little of what I am doing during this plague,

The title of this piece is Man with a Cigar.

Hello, Smiles. Joe and I are doing ok... just taking each day at a time.
Your talent is showing quite well in this painting. Not fond of cigar smoke, but since I can't smell it, lol, I can admire the picture. Wonder what or who he is looking at, over my shoulder?


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Creative ventures and fur babies is a very productive way to deal with the pandemic. My Dad was a cigar smoker and also my guardian angel.

I like your painting.

Was looking to adopt a shelter dog this past winter, Thought I'd have time to acclimatize him/her to the car before I'm able to travel again. Seems a lot of people were looking for companions, the shelters here had waiting lists for dogs.

Hi Bright ! This is Boogie and so nice to see you back. Please show more of your work. I really like this portrait. It has been a difficult year indeed and hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a huge train !

buddie, search for Dog Is My Co-Pilot. They are a rescue that takes animals from high kill shelters in the southwest to areas of need, particularly in northern states. They may be able to help or give excellent suggestions .

Hello Mrs Joe...I am glad to hear that the both of you are doing well. Give Mrjoe a hug for me. Glad that you enjoyed my work. I love the smell of cigar smoke. My grandfather used to smoke a cigar and every time I smell one it brings back fond memories of my grandfather.

Hello Starwomyn...............I was told that and I fell for it...lol. When I brought her home I found out that having a dog is a lot of work and I had to adjust to getting up early to feed and walk my dog etc. I am used to it now though and very happy with her

Hello Buddie....Thanks glad you like my work. It is the same way here . The small dogs go quick and I had a hard time finding one and I was checking about 5 different centers in my town and outside my town. I ended up having to drive to a town outside mine to get the one that I wanted. I was happy that we were a match and she is happy in my home.......I will put a picture up of her
when I get her cleaned up at the Dog Groomer's

That is a huge cigar!

Bright, let's all hope that the pandemic will soon go away. Some say it is soon and naysayers say never.

You be sure and let us know when you are back down again. Ann and Alfie too.....
