My Jack

Comments

Dawn, what a lovely title and what a lovely boy! So rewarding to give another chance to a pet. I love the painting and Jack looks a lovely lad.

Portrait of my rescue dog, Jack, for an exhibition of work entitled "What matters"by Art in Life community art group, which will be held in Warrington Museum in March. Art in Life is a community art group, which I joined just over a year ago. Acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 inches. I got Jack from Cheshire Dogs' Home last April. Sadly his owner was too ill to care for him any longer and I had just lost my little dog, Meg, after 14 years.
