This oil portrait was painted on a routine DVAC Tuesday evening. All things considered, painting time usually works out to be around two hours in total, and this evening one of our members posed for us. These sessions are wonderful since the painters in attendance vary widely and wildly from one another in approach and technique. Tuesday evening at Don Valley is a weekly highlight in my life.

This is my niece Sophie and Buddy, the family dog. Buddy’s in doggie heaven now. I love his calm, protective manner while Sophie playfully explores the garden with his help.
