May 14, Jack and Kelly

This one is a painting I've been wanting to paint for a long time.  I took this photo in July of 2014 in Grand Marais where our entire family went camping for my parents' 50th Anniversary~  and our friend Kelly and her husband and their dog Jack came down for a cake for my mom's birthday!  And this is Kelly's dog Jack sitting on her lap.  I loved the expression of entitled bliss on Jack's face, and the tilt and lean of his body into Kelly's embrace, and the expression of Kelly's hands holding him close.  So much said in just a few gestures... I love it!
