Mom takes TONS of pictures of Mitch - the little imp is just so photogenic - so it wasn't easy choosing just one photo for Barbara to paint from!
We finally agreed on this one~
The painting arrived in the mail last week~
We think it's just outstanding and the perfect likeness! It's actually much more beautiful in person!
Mom showed it to me for my approval! After all - so far all the paintings have been of ME!
And now I have to share wall space with Mitch!
I love it! It's really pretty. I told mom just please don't hang it next to any of MINE!
Maybe you can choose an entirely different room!
But she reminded me that there are paintings of me all over the house - even in the bathroom!
So then she showed it to Mitch and told him that it's an early birthday gift and what did he think of it!
Mitch was pretty excited too to think that someone wanted to paint his picture! He immediately reached out to taste it!
You don't eat it silly - it just hangs on the wall and looks pretty!
So now my little brother is famous too - just like me and Sunshade and Oscar!
Happy early birthday, Mitch!
So until next time....................
Love ya lots,
Maggie

Oh Maggie...what a fantastic portrait of Mitch...we're tempted to get one of us done for Mumsie. Wonder if Miss Barbara could make Scruff's beard longer...I pulled another chunk of it out. He does have beard issues. Maybe you should put a link to her on ur blog??

Maggs!
ReplyDeleteCool portrait of the MitchMan! Hard to believe he is almost one. Will he always seem like a puppy to you, or can you see how much he's growing up?
It's just like Mitch to want to taste his portrait. Good thing it's going on a wall... hopefully high.
Goober love,
Stanley
What a lovely present, such a handsome model too.
ReplyDeleteSimba xx
Wooow! Nicely done! A nice lady here in Malaysia also just did two portraits of me & Chloe. We just collected them last Sunday. Will show you guys soon... But they are not as nicely done as yours. My eyes are HUGE & Chloe's muzzle is a bit too fat! Harharhar!

Are you sure it is a gift for Mitch ? Your mom take Mitch birthday to have an excuse no ? But it is a marvelous painting and I think Véronique will talk to Barbara soon....
