Tru & Jed Truman and Jed love to go for a ride in the truck. And I try to take them with me as much as I can. I did a quick sketch of the way they look with their little heads at the window. This was an exercise to loosen up for another painting that I’ve been working on. Plus it was fun.

Back from the Cabin

We were out at the cabin for an extended weekend. The weather was beautiful and I got to paint on location everyday. A real treat!!! I am finishing three paintings that I started out there so I will post them soon. In the meantime I wanted to share with you Truman’s big adventure.

When we got back from painting one day a pickup truck loaded with children (and adults) pulled up to the little pond in front of the cabin. It is stocked with HUGE Koi fish and the people who lease cabins from the other end of the farm sometimes come down to feed the fish. This day there were 8 children all under the age of 9 and several adults. One little girl was more interested in Truman than feeding fish. He sat down and she hugged him…..

And hugged him…..

And hugged him while the other children tried to pet and play with him…..

And then she explained to the other children that she wanted to hug him some more. While Truman really loved all the attention, he finally got tired and walked up to the gate to be let into the fenced yard where the other dogs were waiting rather impatiently because they were not getting hugged.
