love this presentation of your dog and can feel what you are telling here.

Artist Reply: Sure I knew you would understand, Nelly. Someone who can paint as you do understands everything. That's what makes you the artist you are. One of the best.

SWEET, FRANK. NICE TO SEE YOU BACK ON AW!

Artist Reply: Hi Emily, I never actually left but I changed my email and it didn't take, I lost Rhubarb to a poisoning and poisonous neighbor. but that was back in the 80's and he would be dead now anyway. Thanks for looking.

So sad to know of your loss, Frank. Rhubarb does have the look of one with noble spirit. When you have a pet that becomes your dear friend, the loss touches you as much as any human loved one. I can't help but notice that his face has a near human expression. Thanks for sharing your tribute to him.

Artist Reply: Carliss, you are right he was a noble spirit and one I will never forget.
