I love the expression on Brekka's face as she's watching over Chris. The two are fast friends and Brekka continues to be his faithful companion to this day.
"Brekka and Chris"
"Joey and the Beagles"
Joey's father, Ken, commissioned this painting. Joey has the leash draped over his shoulder. Ken loves the way this painting illustrates the fact that Beagles can keep from wandering when they feel the love and devotion of their family close by.

In the painting of Brooke shown above, the background was changed to a fall collage of green grass, orange leaves and a big, bright orange pumpkin. The side of Brooke's face reflects the orange of the pumpkin and it is also carried through in her pink sweater. The green of the grass is also reflected in her skin and clothing.
In the painting of Brooke shown to the left, a close-up was chosen to be placed on a square canvas. The background of the original reference photo was removed, and a simpler, colorful background was added.
