That is so true Kate. It is what got me started in art back when I was little and it is very relaxing to return to.

Thank you for the nice comment.

Very delicate and wonderful. I like the pose of the little girl and just the indication of the water tub, to let the viewer know the story. Very appealing!

Aww, this is so beautiful, I love it! I think this pretty much me when I was little, always toting some poor puppy around...

This is adorable!
I know that there is nothing heavier than a puppy that does not want to have a bath
