Jaynie Spector (the canny owner of the Dog&Horse fine Art Gallery in Charleston) suggested to me, a few days ago, that I paint a cairn terrier for my portfolio.  It occurred to me "Wait...I got me a live one right here....do let's exploit him...".  So, we now have my first portrait of "Morgan" ( Herve's birthday present to me eight or so months ago).  I can assure you that he looks far more dignified and self-possessed in this portrait than he does in real life.
