Gratitude

I'm grateful for all the wonderful artists I've met through the blogging world.  In particular, I'd like to mention Crystal Cook.  I was browsing the Daily Paintworks site the other day and happened to see a drawing by Crystal I had to have.  Here's Crystal's DPW gallery and if you scroll down you will see the exquisite drawing of the yellow lab:  http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artists/CCook-1631
That red dot on it means I bought it.  I've been following Crystal for some time and she is so talented and so fun to read because she is a very happy artist.  Here is the link to her blog:  http://crystalcookart.blogspot.com/

My drawing arrived today and I shared it with Martha.  She approved.

While sitting in the dental chamber today with eyes shut and jaw muscles strained to stay open, this  image popped in my head.

First chance I've had to post, and since I gave my world-traveling daughter my camera, I took these photos with my brand new absolutely awesome IPhone.
