Mason-Dixon Rescue Dogs Search Rescue Dog (Retired) click here to return to the Search Rescue Index of Portraits From her partner: I began training Cleo when she was about 1 1/2 years old, after she had gotten pretty used to the relaxed life of being a house pet (as opposed to a working dog). I spent a very long year working with her, building her drive, convincing her to enjoy the toy so much that finding it would be enough motivation for her to search for a total stranger. I was told she would neve...

The weather in Texas is so marvelous - it's in the 80's today. This is a small plein air pastel painting I did the other afternoon. It's pastel on velour board. It was fun, I'm going to do more pastels, I think. They are instant gratification, with very little preparation or cleaning up. FUN! It's about 4" x 7" or so. If you're interested in adding it to your collection, it's available for $50, just contact me :)Live Creatively!Liz

So here is a post to hold them over until I get some photos up. Thanks for your patience.And, as always . ..Live Creatively!!Liz
