    Brilliant...really really nice work, you have caught connection between myself an Taff in a very tender way, i also love the connection with the viewer that you have managed to capture via Taffs eye....it really makes for an excellent composition

    a beauty Kim- I think that so many of us go for the cheap effect, and i see you as always grappling with the subject honestly. ...you present them as a real team, the demented owner and his melting eyed dog...

    Gracias, Joan Ramon! Me encantó la relación entre John y Taff y yo esperaba que se podía ver en este dibujo a lápiz. En verdad aprecio tu comentario!
    Jane, you are most kind in your comment and it is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to write~ John, I am most happy that you like this. I am an animal lover so I could see that connection in the source photo and I thank you for providing that! I am thrilled you are pleased! Thanks, Lilly! I loved that eye in the source photo and I am really happy you like it! Mariah, I always appreciate your words! What you say is true in that I do grapple, and I am very happy that you see honesty and sincerity in my work. Those words are most encouraging to me and I send you my sincerest thanks.
    To all, I thank you for the faves!

    Annie, I just saw your comment and you have just made my day! You don't know how much your comment means to me and I am extremely grateful you took the time to do it! I am smiling really big right now because of your thoughtfulness! You and Mariah are funny with the demented comments-I am quite sure John is not demented and is as charming as ever! Thank you again!
