"Charlie at the Art Fair" 9 x 12

My brother takes his old lab, Charlie, everywhere. As I sit in my booth here in Shreveport I see lots of people coming by to view the art, but no dogs! There must be a city rule about that here, but many places allow dogs on leashes to wander through the art. I was missing the people and their pets, yesterday and it reminded me of the time my brother brought Charlie by.

I painted this with a backdrop of a friend's booth, which had a great display of colorful metal dogs. Charlie looks right at home!
