Capturing the essence of childhood and the bond between children and their pets has always brought me joy. This particular painting, inspired by a photo from 'Free Photos for Artists,' reminds me of the precious moments I shared with my daughter when she was small. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the innocence and joy of those early years. The Photo was taken by Claire Mayer. The Painting was finished in 2024 and sold at the Shell Gala 2025. Purchased by Irbi Nelson
