Our Masterpiece

Remember this watercolor painting that was done by 16-year old Victoria of dad and his Indian Chief motorcycle? It has a permanent home in dad's workshop and it gets many compliments from everyone who sees it! We were a wee bit jealous that she painted dad and not us so mom wrote to Victoria and asked her if she'd paint us!
Mom has always loved this painting and she has tried many times to get Mitch to stick his head out the door so that we could both be in the photo together on the sidebar of our blog!But this is not Mitch's style! If mom calls him from other side of the door, he plows through it! He doesn't peek out like a gentleman and stand posed next to me like mom would like him to do!
We can't tell you how many times mom has tried to get the photo that she wants!

Well, no more worries!
Victoria has painted the masterpiece that mom has always wanted! TADA!
We are absolutely ecstatic and thrilled beyond words! She has the masterpiece she has always wanted in oil! Thank you so very much, Victoria! You are such a talented and gifted artist! We just LOVE your work!

So until next time..................

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

    Both of the paintings are so beautiful. Victoria really is talented. We need to have an artist paint us - Mom can never get all of us together in a picture.

    Say 'arrrrooo' to your little Scottish neighbor for us.

    Mum says Nelly is really difficult to photograph too. Whenever mum tries to get her to look up or at mum she immediately gets up and comes tailwagging to her. On the upside her recall is extremely good.

    Wow! What a pawsome painting!!!! We are very happy you've got a friend who is so talented and so kind to paint it for you! That's a treasure.

    We know about the simultaneous posing. Jake's a natural in front of the camera, but can be sort of impulsive if I'm around. I'm camera shy. Put us together, and it can be a challenge.

    Thanks for stopping by to wish me a happy birthday! It was a great day. It made me very happy, and now I've very very tired. Time to go to bed.
