This is a drawing I did yesterday from a photograph I took at least 30 years ago. This little cafe in Athens, GA was about a block from the apartment I lived in from 1980-1981. The apartment and the cafe overlooked the Oconee River. I never ate at the cafe. I was a student with no money for eating out. I sometimes think that was one of the best years of my life. The dog in front of the cafe is my dog, Ginger. A Chihuahua/Dachshund mix from the Atlanta Humane Society. She was the kind of dog that you could go anywhere with off-leash and she would just stick with you and never run off. She always went with me to the studio and on walks along the river.
