My Koty Boy!

This is an 18X24 acrylic I painted recently of my late dog, Koty. He was a red merle Australian Shepherd and my treasured companion for 12 years. It took me well over a year after his death to be able to paint him without breaking down. I feel very confident I have captured the way I want him to be remembered. This painting now hangs where he is the first thing I see each morning when I awaken and the last thing I see before I fall asleep each night - well that is along with my other 3 living Aussies, who are next to me at all times. :)
