Sorry mean't he will love this portrait (at Christmas!) ;)

Actually I can tell you that he was 'delighted with it' and that it 'had pride of place in the narrow boat', as it was a gift to him a couple of years ago. It was a lovely painting to do as my friend had managed to keep it all a secret, even taking the photos I needed for Ridsy right under her dad's nose! Thank you very much for your compliments Carole.

A wonderful portrait of a Jack Russell. Those eyes surely will melt the sternest heart. Brings back thought of my own.
