Do you recognize the painting style? Yup - it's an original Lo painting, lucky me.
A few weeks ago I commissioned Lo to paint a portrait of my best dog Samson. She painted it and kept me updated via email about it's status and we agreed that she would mail it to me when completed. Lo mailed the package and I waited and waited and it didn't come. I was SO upset, so was Lo...then we found out that the Post Office had sent it back for address corrections. So then Lo sent it back again and I got to open it and (of course) burst into tears. I adore this painting! He was such a good dog and Lo captured his peaceful yet somewhat anxious (how can I please you?) look.
And look at the background? Isn't it gorgeous?
Happy Animal Wednesday - kiss and hug all your pets - they are so precious!

I really hope you like it Mim and aren't just being nice :)
He really was a handsome dog!
I posted it as well because we have different audiences. And he does make a great AW model!

This is fabulous. Lo is a great artist. She has such a rapor with animals. It comes through her brush. HAW.
It looks so wonderful!
I knew immediately whose style of painting this was!
What a beautifully done portrait. What soulful eyes Sam had. Wow. The colors are magnificent.
And no, Lo, I am NOT saying it just to be nice, I MEAN IT and I am positive Mim means it too. It is absolutely wonderful!
I have loved your Samson since he used to be a part of your old blogger header. (You KNOW I have a special place in my ♥ for Labs!)
No one.... that's NO ONE...can bring an animal back to life like our Lolo... it's that wonderful combination of her deft painting hands...and her intuitive soul.
What a beautiful painting.....
Love,

It is so beautiful Mim! I saw it first on Lolo's blog and then came over here. I'm so glad she could capture Samson for you so perfectly. He looks like a good solid dog with great character.
I saw Samson on Lo's blog...it is so absolutely gorgeous. Lolo has such a gift for animals. Beautiful memory.
Aaaah, be still my heart!!
No one captures soul-filled eyes better than Lo.!
How proud I'm sure you are!
This is fantastic, as we all knew it would be. Lo is such a great painter of animals, isn't she.
What a treasure.
lo nailed it (yet again)! i often stare at how she paints the eyes because she gets the soul right then and there.
i imagine you will treasure this forever, mim.

He's beautiful, then I have a penchant for labradors. There's one sprawled all over my bed as I type. Lovely painting, so glad you finally got it.
OMG IT'S GORGEOUS. So Lolo. So Wonderful. No wonder the Post Office is going broke.. Scaring everyone to death. So glad it got there finally.
Thank you for the privilege, dear friend.
:)

Looks like Lo did your Samson due justice. A fine piece!
just gorgeous. realer than real.
i can just imagine how thrilled you must be mim. it's incredible. your samson looks so sweet. dear lo.
Now I know what people mean when they say 'this is too beautiful for words. The soulfulness in his eyes just give me a great big lump in my throat. There is just no one like Lo in the whyole wide world.
Isnt this just WOW and AWESOME!!!!!
I was waiting for this post....and now I see the reason it took so long!
My gosh what stress this must have caused! But how lucky he was only traveling and not lost!
I know exactly how you felt when you took the first glance at this precious painting, must have been pretty similar to my experience when I opened my Sjimmie painting.
No one else can capture the soul and spirit of an animal in this way better than Lo.
Ahhh and those eyes he must have been such a special dog!
Love the new background! A real "Lo" sky.
Well, beautiful in all ways dear!
Happy Animal Wednesday late...

What a gorgeous painting of your beautiful Sammy! We just lost our old Beau last month. Your Sammy's eyes remind me of his. . .
xoxoxo
you can see the love and noble nature in his eyes - what a treasure for you to cherish. i am going to go hug my 15 year old airedale now ;))
