I love this so much. I had an Amazon I had to get rid of. This is so touching

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Marge for your kind words. Losing a pet you love can be so hard. We losta a wonderful German Shepherd almost 38 yrs ago and we still miss Prince. He was a faithful, lovinig friend and brought many hours of joy and delight. So glad my Macaw painting, "Lady Bird," blessed your day. Thanks for sharing. I loved painting her. I am almost finished painting a Bald Eagle family and will post it soon. In the meantime, it can be seen on our Website art page. Blessings, Jan.
