Yes, this is Champ, who was an incredibly fuzzy, velvet-bristle-covered sweet-faced wrinkly fella who allowed children to crawl on him and was placid and even-tempered and loving. He belonged to my friend Rosemary's siblings and it seems we all got to have him live with us for a time, as I remember having him saunter around my old backyard on Butternut off Shepard Road in St Paul, when Bingo was a pup... I believe he was rumored to have some chow in him, though his fur and wrinkles suggested sharpei. I don't know that I got the wrinkly-fuzzy feel right- I may need to go back into this one too...
And I have also included a photo of me and
Liz Sivertson (my favorite local artist since I was a kid!) taken at the Grand Marais Art Festival! It was SO fun! And this other photo is of the German Shepard HONEY posing in front of the painting I did of her in May! Of all wonderful reocccurances, she was at the Art Festival with her owner, and I recognised her as soon as she walked into the tent~ she was shy as ever and it took quite a bit of coaxing but she did consent to pose in front of her likeness for a few shots. I gotta say, that really made my weekend!
