This picture is featured on one whole page in "The Taj Mahal Review", June 2006. Zowie belongs to one of the professors of Psychology, where I work. She is loved, and knows it. She is my first drawing of an animal, so I was very apprehensive about how the drawing would turn out. Her owners are very happy with the outcome, and I am delighted that they are. Since it is my first of an animal, my commssion fee is one Dutch Apple cake, and surprise, surprise! I also, received a gift! I love the cake, the baker is the best, but for the next commission, I think I'd like to set a fee. Ha!

YOu cought the eyes so well,Im just tooling through your portfollio and your work is fantastic. wow. jamie

Artist Reply: Thank you, Jamie! It was my very first dog, and I know her personally, so it was great to capture that look in her eyes, as she progresses in age.

This is just great, Carliss!! I've yet to attempt an animal...I'm ascared! I know I'm going to have to, eventually. Might as well practice with my own...cake and presents are both VERY GOOD, you're so kind! BLESS YOU! However, you can buy both w/$$$. :o)

Artist Reply: Janet, you're the best!! Looking back this far, is something few people do. Rob Miller, is basically the only one who does, regularly. So, you think you want to do an animal, huh? It was fun, but I have to tell you, I was ascared, too. The dog was getting on in years so I didn't want to make her look too old. I remember her when she was a pup, so I tried to keep her as youthful, as realistically possible.
