Your Painted Smile

Denver has spectacular Indian summers. Today was a textbook example. A perfect day for raking leaves and cleaning up the front yard. Jake stayed outside with me, lounging in the sun. I think his leg was pretty sore today because he didn’t move around much. Regardless, he always wants a walk at 4pm no matter how bad it hurts. We took our usual short route around the block and came across this sign.

One of our younger neighbors, Gina, was drawing pet portraits for free. Well, of course we’re going to participate. While she was working on her artwork, Jake stole a piece of banana bread from her table. I suppose that was his “sitting fee”. The finished piece is fantastic. Don’t you love how she even captured his leg brace?
